This dialog requests for a .exe file. The entire dialog is a browing dialog; you can see all folders on your computer and select and open them. What it asks from you is to point it to the folder that contains that contains the exe of your Internet browser. In your case that would be firefox.exe which is usually located in the folder; "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" Somehow on your computer Firefox failed to correctly register itself as the Internet browser and therefor Outlook cannot find it.
