This may happen after you have upgraded into a new Microsoft Office Suite.
Cause
The Firefox file extension may be corrupted.
Resolutions
To resolve this problem,
- In your Firefox Browser, choose
Tools > Add-ons > WebDAV Launcher > Options. This will bring up a pop up window, with a list of office extensions and the file handler. Delete each of them if you are using Microsoft Office.
OR - Delete Firefox's own file extension. Refer to Mozilla's documentation.
