After Firefox upgrade, Windows 7 no longer allows hyperlinks in e-mails to connect. Message is "This operations has been cancelled due to restrictions in your computer."

After Firefox upgrade just a few minutes ago, Windows 7 no longer allows hyperlinks in e-mails (Outlook 2003) to connect. Message is "This operations has been cancelled due to restrictions in your computer. Please contact your system administrator."

I use Windows 7 x64 with Office 2010 and the message I get is General Failure. the URL was:..... An error occured in sending the command to the application.
This only started happening after the 3.6.14 update.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions... - Office 2013 (Windows 2012R2 RDS)

    Hello,
    We've got an Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server farm for Multi tenant pursoses. therefor we've decided to use the following GPO setting: "Restrict Access to the Following Drives" in combination with the "Hide the following drives"
    for both settings we've set the C: drive to be inaccessible through regular browsing. This causes an issue when users, that open up their documents from an outlook attachement or an internet explorer webpage. Is there a way to get around the error message:
    "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" or perhaps change the error.
    I've already been experimenting with the outlooksecuretemp registry and setting the temp/tmp environment variable to another location which then allows users to save in an temp folder but prevents the message, this then causes documents
    to get lost since such a location gets auto cleaned after logging off. Due to multitenant purposes i dont want to change 2 GPO settings mentioned earlier.
    I did how ever found the setting: "File open/save Dialog" (+ "Approved Locations") setting which prevents the error message but therefor causes other issues. Like beeing unable to press a library or explorer.
    Anyone got any suggestions on how to prevent the error message?
    Thanks!! And when more information is required please let me know so i'll try to explain the exact situation.
    Regards,
    Dennis

    I have the same issue as Dennis described. Environment is Server 2012R2 and Office 2013.
    "Restrict Access to the Following Drives" and "Hide the following drives" are set
    After the users have opened an attachement, a pdf for example, and then hit 'save as' the error message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this Computer. Contact your Administrator" occurs. Finally it
    showed the save as dialag and pointed to redirected documents.
    I've also tried to set the 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' to the value U:\ in HCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Security. Drive U:\ is mapped correctly.
    But when I have opened the attachment, the registry value has changed to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\....
    BTW: In a Server 2008R2 environment with Office 2010 the modified 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' worked like charm.
    Any new ideas?
    Regards,
    Markus

  • When I try to launch Firefox I get the message, "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator". The only way I can launch the browser is to re-install it every time.

    I cannot find any obvious restrictions on the computer. In the Control Panel under Set Program Access and Defaults, Enable Access to This Program is checked.

  • In Outlook, when clicking on any hyperlink, I am getting the message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." How can I fix this?

    Looking at other forums, this problem is related to the browser settings. As I use Firefox 3.5.11 I'm hoping this forum will work.

  • Firefox won't open - get error message "this operation has been cancalled due to restrictions in place on this account..."

    I can't open firefox - every time I try I get the above error message. This has started after no apparent changes or updates to my system, just a normal shut down. I have tried changing the registry .htm, .html etc. file names and reinstalling as suggested but this doesn't work. The only way I can open firefox is after I have reinstalled it and it automatically launches a browser.
    I can open firefox in a new user account which suggests something has changed in the account I usually use but I have no idea what since I have not made any changes myself and can't see anything that would suggest it is blocking firefox from opening. I've run a virus scan and it is coming up clean.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be very grateful for some help.
    Thank you.

  • 'The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer' prompts when firefox is started.

    When I tried to open Firefox, it displayed a pop-up saying that 'The operation has been canceled due to the restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact system administrator'. Even if I logged in as system administrator and tried to start Firefox, it showed me the same pop-up. The problem started from today morning. Yesterday, I was using Firefox and it worked for me. But for quite few days even though if I closed the window it was still running. Next time if I need to start Firefox, I need to close it from the Task manager and then need to start it. Not sure how to fix this problem. Now, I uninstall ed the older version (3.5.0 not sure) and updated with 3.6.3. Then also it shows me the same pop-up.

  • After installing Firefox then closing it, I cannot open it, PC says it has been cancelled due to restrictions on my computer

    I have run Firefox for over a year now. However I ended up with various pop-ups recently though they were easy enough to remove and didn't effect Firefox in any obvious way. In the past few days every time I have attempted to open Firefox, even right-clicking on the .exe file a warning pops-up saying "the operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. please contact your system administrator".
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it worked fine, only to return to that warning message after I closed and re-opened it. This has also effected Google Chrome in the exact same way even though I never owned Chrome until all this business began. Internet Explorer, which I'm on now has suffered no problems.

  • Embedded links in emails willl not process by firefox mesage says " operation has been canceled due to restrictions in place on this computer"

    Imbeded links will not process on Firefox: I receive this screen: "operation has been canceled due to restrictions in place on this computer"

    Hi,
    ahla.org redirects to
    https://www.healthlawyers.org/Pages/home.aspx
    ... its a mess
    eg. the login link is http://admin.healthlawyers.org:8080/_login
    any error message with "Restriction" in it is from Group Policy.
    what you can try
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
    Trusted Sites icon, sites button, remove ANY reference to
    http://ahla.org or http(s)://www.healthlawyers.org (IE has security restrictions preventing navigation between sites of lower integrity).... Other userAgents do not use the same security model as MSIE.
    the https protocol (secure web sites) works in any IE security zone.... If a site uses https, you do not have to place it in the Trusted sites list. It should work (encrypt) just as well in the internet zone (default).
    Hover the mouse over the pdf/doc hyperlink... its uri will appear in the status bar or at the bottom of the IE window... note its address. IT MUST point to the healthlawers.org domain. It should also be using the same protocol as the current web page. If it
    uses the https protocol, check "Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
    As I said.... it is likely that the above settings are controlled by Group Policy.

  • Hyperlinks in Outlook error "the operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer"

    A user started getting this error message when clicking on any hyperlinks from outlook. We have not made any changes to his policy or computer. When I searched
    the issue a Microsoft article said to reset IE to default but that did not work. I also tried re installing it completely but no luck.

    Hi,
    Do you hava other web browsers (such as Chrome or Firefox) installed before? Did you uninstall the browser without setting Internet Explorer as the default browser? If this is the case, we may try the following steps to fix the issue:
    1. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
    2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html
    3.
    Right click the value for the .html key and select Modify.
    4. Change the value from “ChromeHTML” (or
    FireFoxHTML or something else ) to “htmlfile”.
    5.
    Repeat step 4 for .htm, shtml, .xht, .xhtml, .xhtm keys.
    6. Exit Registry Editor and restart Outlook to see the result.
    Pleas let me know the result.

  • After Firefox upgrades, I hear people talking when I go to one website only. This is the second time this has happened..

    This was my original problem--
    Every time I go to the obituary page, I start hearing talking and then firefox freezes. Why? This has only started happening recently.
    I can look at everything on this website without a problem until I go to the obit page. I cannot even get halfway down when I start hearing the talking and then Firefox stops responding. When I close it and reopen it, I can sometimes change the number of obits viewed per page from 10 to 25 and I can then see them. Today, it kept freezing, so I had to use Safari. This only happens on the obit page on this one web site. The web site is http://www.news-record.com/. I have no other problems with Firefox and really like it very much. I am wondering if this has starting happening since the last Firefox update. Right now I have version 3.6.24. Any help you might be able to provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Mary.
    The only difference is I am not having the crashing. Just the sound. System details OSX 10.4.11 Firefox version 3.6.27
