Opening Outlook 2003 Emails prompts HTML Download

I'm not sure if this is related to Firefox, but I had a firefox user who started to get a prompt to download a HTML each time she tried to open a mail message.


It transipred that it had something to do with the "Microsoft Outlook Social Connector". To disable this try the following;
  1. Open Outlook in safe mode (click on the shortcut while you hold down Ctrl key)
  2. Check you can open mail fine.
  3. If you can go to File/Options/Add-ins.
  4. Make sure tha the Manage: on the bottom is set to COM Add-ins, then click Go....
  5. Deselect "Microsoft Outlook Social Connector"
  6. Restart Outlook normally and all should be well.
