I upgraded to Firefox 7.0.1. Now, when I select an emailed link to a website, I always receive a General Failure error message indicating that Firefox can't reach the website. In the meantime, the thin red-light progress line appears and the website comes up fine. Thee error message appears consistently but there's rarely a problem reaching a website. Any suggestions on how to eliminate the error message?

I'm responding to my own post. I checked the error messages more carefully and found that they are Microsoft Outlook generated and not Firefox. This could still be a Firefox problem but I thought I should point this out.
