Windows Vista Error Message on clicking links

[Taffycat]

I am a bit puzzled by this. When I receive an e-mail, there are occasions when I click on a link within it, when an error message will appear (please see snip) telling me that the page cannot be found, but even before I can finish reading it, the browser opens and the correct webpage will load. When I close the browser, there is the little message lurking behind.

It only happens in Vista. I am using FF as my default browser (it is completely up-to-date). So just wondered if any of you might know the reason for the error message please

OK, what happens if you used IE ...

Ah, I see what you mean by the I should have made it clear that I don't just click any old links in any old e-mails, that would be unwise I meant links in mail from trusted sources

You have "cracked" it though Mucks ... yes, it was Vista's way of telling me that it doesn't quite approve of FF being my default browser ... fair enough, but I'm still not letting it have all its own way

Thank you for solving it
