Before I update, is firefox 27.0.1 compatable with Skype click and call?

Every time I update Firefox I lose Skype click and call and have to wait weeks for access to it again. I now will not update Firefox until I know it is comparable with Skype click and call.
Is firefox 27.0.1 compatable with Skype click and call at this time?

I presume ''"Skype click and call"'' is official [http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr Skype] software.
If you need skype and this happens on every update an unoficial solution would be to install Firefox portable ESR as an additional browser and then use that for skype whilst using the fully updated Firefox Release for all other browsing. (Firefox Portable is based on Mozilla Firefox, the ESR version probably will remain compatible with skype and not have problems on updates )
* http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr
The official solution would be to use Firefox Releases and update Skype. Complaining to Skype as necessary when it is not compatible with the Firefox Releases. Skype will be aware of the Release dates and will be able to test and modify their software as necessary whilst using public pre release versions of Firefox. <br />Presumably Skype is controlled by MS and they would prefer you to always use IE and not use Firefox at all.

  • Am getting message saying something is trying to upload unsecure update for Firefox. Have scanned system with Avast but no reported problems

    During a browsing session looking for spares for garden machinery I got a message saying something was trying to upload an unsecure update to Firefox. Have scanned system with Avast and a couple of other malware programs but have no reported threats. As far as I am aware my browser is fully up to date.

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.<br />
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.<br />

    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Skype Click to Call for Firefox 7 Installation Nig...

    All info as of Oct.08.
    Hi Guys:
      I would like to start by telling you that I'm newbie to this community as not a Skype fan user and haven't used the application since its June version 5.3. I didn't upgrade my Firefox browser on its due time either as rather use Internet Explorer most of the time. All these three are installed on a Windows XP Home SP3 system. 
      Due to some IE7 settings misconfiguration early this week, I decided to use FF6 again while restoring IE to defaults, which means that plugins and toolbars are disabled or uninstalled in the process. After reinstalation and updating Adobe Flash, Java, etc.. noticed that the Skype Toolbar was definetively lost (uninstalled) to IE.
      FF Add-ons Manager was showing the Skype Plugin (still version 5.3) as disabled, not compatible and with no updates available. I then proceeded to upgrade FF to NB7 recently released 27-09, and then applied latest update 7.0.1 released 29-09, but no change to the Skype Plugin upon clicking on update all add-ons and plugins.
      BTW, release notes for this FF update 7.0.1 states: "Fixed a rare issue where some users could find one or more of their add-ons hidden after a Firefox update"... making me more confused and to look deeper into FF support, but with no success. I also tried FF Add-on Compatibility Reporter to no avail.
      Therefore, it was time to go to Skype and as I usually first learn about latest changes, opened on (blogs.skype.com/garage/windows/) first, to find that there were two releases (an update to V5.5.119 (which I did) and an upgrade to a new build 5.6) on the same date (29-09) of FF's update to fix "hidden add-ons" - what a coincidence to add confusion -.
      In both versions' release notes you can read that changes include: "Updated Skype Click to Call browser plugins and the addition of support for Firefox 7"... but no further explanation. Sorry guys but it was at that moment when I learned about that "Click to Call" name (formerly known as Skype Web Toolbars) which totally different from what I was searching for, making me do some more clicks to search and understand the difference between the installers provided.
      I believe (and suggest) that if in that blogpost 29-09 in respect of the 5.5 update, the poster (Raul Liive) would have included a link to the Click to Call support page, it would have been a lot more easier for Firefox users to update their Skype installation, even though, it is not true that Click to Call "is automatically installed in Mozilla Firefox" as suggested in that support page. It only installs in Internet Explorer. In order to also install it in Firefox and/or Chrome, you must download its installer from that page.
      At least this was my experience which could be taken as a quick reference - Installation Troubleshooting Guide (Provided "AS IS" and subject to Mods' approval):
    - Opened Skype 5.3 and clicked on the Updater to get version 5.5.119 installed.
    - Opened IE7 and verified that new Click to Call 5.6.0.8312 was present in my toolbar.
    - Opened FF7 and verified that old Skype Plugin 5.3 did not changed. Tried to update it again from within the application with no results.
    - Opened Control Panel > Add or remove programs, and verified Skype 5.5.119 correctly shown, but Click to Call was not. There it was still showing "Skype Toolbars 5.3.7280".
    - Closed all applications and proceded to remove Skype Toolbars from Control Panel.
    - Restarted the system and opened CP, IE and FF to verify Skype Toolbars successfully removed.
    - Optionally - ran CCleaner.
    - Downloaded Click to Call Installer and ran it to install it in both, IE and FF, which done   successfully.
    - Opened CP to verify it was then showed correctly as "Skype Click to Call 5.6.0.8312".
    - Opened FF to verify it now shows the plugin correctly as above with no imcompatibility 
    warnings. Made a test call successfully. Did same from IE.
    *Notice: Please note that there is actually only one Click to Call installer (v5.6.0.8312) available at Skype.com, no matter what Skype (supported) version or browser (support for IE, FF and/or Chrome only) you are using. Also notice that when you open your browser for the first time after installing CtoC, a new Skype advertising tag will be opened... Don't worry, it will do it just once. A second advertising window will be opened after your Skype app opens when you make a call from your browser... at least it happened on my first test call and don't know if same for further calls (free account).
      Sorry guys - long story - but hope this to be of any assistance to the community.
    Cheers,
    RickCP

    Would also add that after doing the above troubleshooting you find any problem with your Click to Call feature just installed, or simply need to install or activate the plugin to another browser (one of the 3 supported for Windows) you are also using, you can run your Click to Call Installer again to choose between the following options provided:
    Change:
    Lets you change the way features are installed (and on what browser are to be installed).
    Repair:
    Repairs errors in the most recent installation by fixing missing and corrupt files, shortcuts and registry entries.
    Remove:
    Removes Click to Call from your computer.

  • Skype Click to Call Incompatible with Firefox 10.0

    When will Skype Click to Call be compatible with Firefox 10.0?

    I'm not a computer expert, but I have found Skype to be easy to navigate. Now, when I download the Firefox 10.0 update so my system runs properly, I discover that I'm not the only person to encounter the Click Call removal from almost all my contacts.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue sooner than later. My personal gripe is that I need to communicate daily with a work contact in the far Eastern Carribean and Skype is the only way we can do so without running up a large hourly cell or landline rate. Even on Skype, the per-minute rate isn't a great bargain. Aside from rates, is there en asy solution to this problem?

  • Your update 33.0 is not compatable with Norton antivirus and the screen only turns black when trying to open firefox. Please help

    Please see question. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but with no success. Chrome and Int. Exp both work fine, but nothing comes up but a black screen covering most of my monitor in Firefix.

    Sorry but it is always the other way. Norton needs to update their Firefox extension to work with the new major version Release so it can tie in with their antivirus client.
    The good news is that Norton as usual has a live-update patch for Firefox 33.0 which was available on October 13, the day be fore Firefox 33.0 was Released.

  • I was using Firefox 4, which had the google toolbar and I accidentally updated to firefox 5, which does not have the toolbar and without the toolbar, I feel handicapped using the browser. Is there any way I can go back to Firefox 4??...Pls urgent...

    I am a medical transcriptionist. I was using Firefox 4 and without knowing that Firefox 5 does not support Google Toolbar I updated it. Searching in google is a integral part of my job and without the Toolbar I feel handicapped using Firefox 5. You can say that there is no need for toolbar in firefox 5 as the address bar doubles as toolbar, but I find it very difficult using it. I uninstalled Firefox 5 and try installing Firefox 4 version, but I am not able to. So, I have uninstalled Firefox 4 completely. So, pls advise if there is a way for me to get back my Firefox 4. Tx in advance for your help.

  • Video gamers-Before I update to 10.5.5,  any problem with this version

    Hi, I would like to know BEFORE I attempt to update to lep 10.5.5 are the graphics card issues resolved. I am running 10.5.2, This is seems to be the only update enabling 256 color that works with graphic intense video applications or games. According to the details of this update (10.5.5) it does say it "includes graphic enhancements" in the update. What the heck does that mean? Is that saying if I have a GeForce 8600 GT 128MB card that I will be able to run video games and not crash, lock-up, stutter or have unpleasant problems like the other updates 10.5.1,- 5.3,- 5.4? If there are other issues that have popped up I would like to know about those as well.
    Thanks in Advance
    xdeepsea

    To find out if your games are compatible with 10.5.5 I suggest you visit the developers' web sites and make you inquiries there. They can provide you with the only definitive information about their games' compatibility with OS X.
