When calling on Skype it says "Skype calls are temporarily unavailable in Firefox". What am I doing wrong? William Lussky

Chosen solution

Microsoft changed how the website works to a method that currently does not work in Firefox.

Can you use the site in Safari or Google Chrome as a workaround for now?

Hello jscher2000, Thank you for your comments and I'll use Safari. I'll also await the fix as I am fond of Firefox. William Lussky
