---- Firefox error opening links from a CD

Thank you Ted. Yes I believe it's obviously something to do with how the CD is being burned as locally the exe and links work fine. Another strange thing is that if Firefox is currently open and i visit the link it goes to the correct place. However, if Firefox is closed and I click the link and then it opens Firefox it redirects to the copyright site.

I contacted the administrator of that site and he said this: "The only thing that I can think of is that years ago Netscape Server used to ship with a link to my website from their copyright notice when you installed the server, so maybe there is a piece of code somewhere that redirects whenever it thinks there is a copyright issue." This is very bizare and of course the customer I'm creating the CD for needs it to open up in Mozilla.
