Hi newmarket2,

Sorry to hear you are having issues with the links no longer working from Outlook with Firefox.

A possible workaround by right clicking on the link in Outlook, and opening in a new tab or window.

Another option would be to open your Default Program page in your computers control panel and set Firefox as default Internet Browser. In Windows 10 -> Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Web browser

You could also try Nightly {link} which gives you an opportunity to try out the latest features and possibly a short-term remedy to your problem.
