Hello I have just installed FireFox to replace M$ Chrome as my browser. I use Outlook from M$ Office 365 on Windows 10 for email.

When I open a news email in Outlook and clink on a link there, the page does not open in Firefox. The same link opens the page if I use M$ Chrome. If I 'copy' the link in Outlook and open a new tab in Firefox and paste the link it opens.

This seems like a giant failure as I get about 10 news emails a day and they are a primary access for my keeping abreast of the world. I have scoured the support links and see no solution. What have I missed? This should be a fundamental capability of Firefox

Thanks JohnS

Is Firefox set as your default browser?
