First, make sure that Firefox is set as the default browser. Ref: Make Firefox your default browser and Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - What to do.

If clicking links in Outlook Express still freezes the computer, you should seek help in a Windows XP forum or an Outlook Express forum ... for example, I found these with a google search:
