Outlook 2003 opens two browsers when launching hyperlink

[Rivet Head]

Howdy,

Recently I reinstalled my operating system (new HDD) and reinstalled MS Office 2003. After doing so, when I launch any links in an email, two browsers will open to that link.

I checked all the Outlook options and didn't notice anything that referenced the problem. For good measure, I tried installing SP1 for MS office, which failed to resolve the problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

I should mention I am using Firefox 9.3 as my default browser.

I tried switch defaults to IE and the problem cleared. Switch the default back to Firefox, wham, two windows with every hyperlink. I tried uninstalling Firefox, update IE, and the same issue occurs.

BTW - The problem was fixed by installing later version of Firefox.
