Outlook 2010 link to URL

Post by Teunis »

Lately I have problems when ckicking a URL in a message. Eventually the correct site turns up in Firefox 4.0 correctly but an error message is displayed. See an example below.

Anybody any ideas?

Is this only with Firefox 4?

Does it only happen with re-directed URL's? (If you look at the second attachment, your 'click-through' appears to be being tracked....)

Otherwise, does Fix Outlook 'General Failure' Error for E-Mail Links - PCWorld help?

(I recommend you back-up your registry or export the key before trying this.)

Yes it does only happen with re-directed URLs. But I followed your "General Failure" link and applied their solution, and it seems to work.

Thanks a lot.

That might be a 'safety' feature within Firefox. I'm not running Firefox 4 here, but Ver.3 certainly appears to have the ability to identify redirects:

Good to know the fix seems to be working - thanks for reporting back!
