Some links in FF randomly open the IE download page instead of the specified link.

occasionally (not every time), some links I click on would open a different page than they are supposed to. the page they open is the IE download page. the page opens as a new tab in FF. for example, I might click a link in an email (i use outlook) and it will open FF, but not the right page- instead, it opens the ie download page. or i will click a link on a website while i browse FF, and again- same issue. or i click one of my bookmarks or shortcuts on the FF toolbar and get the same problem.
