when I open an email in Microsoft Outlook 2007 - all of the sudden the links
to webpages doesn't work - worked yesterday - now when I click on a link
within an email it says "General Failure the URL was ..... the system can
not find the file specified.

I've made sure that he default program in control panel that opens URL's is
firefox, I've checked the default to make sure that FF is the default
browser...what happened between yesterday and today?? how do I fix this
please?

thanks
Pam

When you change the default to Internet Explorer, does it work then?
If yes, change it back to Firefox and try again.
