firefox 5.0 has disabled skype's extension 5.3.0.7550 and has made it unstable
have installed latest version of firefox. installation process has disabled skype's extension 5.3.0.7550 and it has made it unstable (skype crashes down after 5-10 sec). have reinstalled skype but problem persists. have tried to reverse back to older version of firefox which seems to be impossible. use of skype is very important to me as I do have many family members who are living overseas and some of them i can contact only by using skype. could you please have look at this issue with compatibility.

The Skype extension for Firefox has a long history of being problematic in Firefox. Various older version of that extension have been "blocklisted" by Mozilla from time to time due to causing a high number of Firefox crashes in the last 3 or 4 years.

You don't need that Skype extension in Firefox to be able to use Skype or to use Firefox.
when firefox updates, like yesterday, i have skype problems (people can't hear me when i call - it's not a mic problem, as this has happened before); what is the skype extension for firefox to solve it and where do i get it - thanks
