Default Links not working right

I use Firefox as my default browser.

The URL filetype opens with Firefox, as it should.

Now, when I click on a link in an email, instead of going to that page in
the browser, which is what it did until yesterday, it opens the 'Outlook
Express' folder in Windows Explorer.

I must have done something, but I don't know what. What should I do?

In the Folder Options...File Types, I have a URL: URL file, but not a URL:
HyperText Transfer Protocol nor a URL: Internet Shortcut. The under the
Details for 'URL' extension section, I have buttons for 'change' and
'restore.' I don't get the 'advanced' button unless I change to Internet
Explorer.

Works for me.

Clear the Temporary Internet Files folder then try it again.
