When I click a link in Outlook, Firefox homepage opens but not the address I clicked on. It always worked, it just started doing that.

I've had Firefox and Outlook for years. I just updated my pc with a new motherboard. I reinstalled everything and I've been able to click links in Outlook and open them up through Firefox since my upgrade last month. But now today the problem started. When I click a link (only in Outlook this happens) my homepage (I have it set to Google) opens up and that's all. If I click on a link from anywhere else, it goes to the desired page. Please help! Thanks.

Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like IE the default browser and then let Firefox do it again.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser and Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - What to do
