Cannot open hyperlinks in outlook 2007 - this operation has beencancelled due to restrictions on thi

I've found many posts saying the answer is to set IE as your default
application for opening http:, https:, url, etc, but as I use Firefox
I don't see why setting this browser as the default for all of these

running it as Administrator, does not work.

Any suggestions?
