Increasing sensitivity of Firefox Skype Click-to-C...

Hello! I'd like to edit the regular expressions used by the Firefox Click-to-call plugin. I work online, and unfortunately the phone numbers we use are entered by the workers in a text field, and therefore frequently aren't properly formatted, so I'd like to modify the sensitivity. (No, I'm one of the workers, and I have no control over how the website is run.) (Yes, I know this could cause the plugin to go out of control, and I'm happy to just disable the plugin when I'm not working.)
Could anyone guide me in the right direction? Any advice would be helpful. (Would this be simpler if I used IE or Chrome?)
Solved!

Alright, unfortunately nobody has replied to this topic, but I eventually found a third-party solution.
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/telify/ ) Telify is a Firefox add-on that functions very similarly to Click-to-Call, is much more sensitive, and is quite compatible with Skype. I just uninstalled Click-to-Call and installed this instead.

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.

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.

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?

Why doesn't Skype Click-to-call work on Windows 8.1?

Why doesn't Skype click-to-call work anymore? I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now when I click on a highlighted phone number it asks "Which app should I use" or some such microsoft text. But no application is listed. Apparently it does not work from within Firefox (I have the latest version). And I can no longer find a Skype Click to Call application or extension in Firefox. Do I need to use another browser or is there a fix for this?

Hey ran
Sorry to hear you are having probloms
I currently have skype click to call installed with firefox and windows 8.1 up to date. I would advise you to re-install skype and its click to call addon and see where it gets you
hope this helps

Skype Click to Call ERROR

I am running Windows 7 and the problem started right after updating Skype yesterday. I have tried removing it in Safe mode, as well as running CcCleaner. I have tried reinstalling the "Skype Click to Call" and I have tried uninstalling the main Skype application.
Recently there was an update with Skype. I updated the software which seemed to install something called "Skype Click to Call". Every few minutes a Windows Installer dialogue will pop up saying that it's trying to install "Skype Click to Call" but will then stop midway and say the following error dialogue:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
The same error and sequence of events happens if I try to: Disable "Skype Click to Call" from my Google Chrome browser (the plug-in), Uninstall it from Chrome, uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs, and repair or uninstall it from the Stand-Alone installer for "Skype Click to Call".

My wife is having similar problems with Chrome since her Skype updated.
She has Windows Vista, and Skype now can take up to an hour to finish loading, since the update, and Chrome locks up and crashes.
Trying to uninstall the Click To Call plugin from Chrome, it just hangs while trying to uninstall it, and if you try to uninstall it from Windows it also just sits there Preparing To Uninstall.
The plugin gave JS errors running on my Firefox 8, which disappeared when I disabled it.

Skype Click to Call Not Working for Landlines and ...

Hello,
I am trying to use Skype Click to Call, but it does not seem to be working. I was able to call contacts using callto://CONTACT_NAME, but the second I try to call any mobile or landline number (I.E. - callto://9731234567), it does not work. Skype will come up, but it will not make the call. I am running on:
Windows XP - 2002 Version
4 core Pentium processor (1.7 GHz)
256 MB of RAM
Google Chrome
If anyone could provide any insight or ideas, I would really appreciate it. I have already tried a large number of things to fix this issue. Thank you so much for any help!

Sounds that you have installed a Firefox Beta release and thus are on the beta update channel, see Help > About.<br />
The Beta update channel receives an update twice a week.
You need to install the current release to switch the update channel to release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 27: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

How cal I get Skype click-to-call to install on Firefos 10

i JUST UPGRADED TO FIREFOX 10. As happens every time i upgrade, Firefox says it cannot install the add-on skype click-to-call. I used to be able to add it using tools, but now skype is not even listed there; something called SIP click-to-call is (beta).
Can anyone tell me how toget Skype click-to-call to once again work, or else advise me as to whether there are calling charges associated with the SIP feature and also how ewell it works..
Thanks.

Add-on compatibility are the responsibility of the Developer. All Add-on Developers are able to update/test their product before any major Firefox release, due to Mozilla releasing a Public Alpha/Beta of Firefox. This doesn't mean all app developers update before a Major release is made, which often prevents compatibility between add-on and browser.
Skype has announced that they have updated their "Click-To-Call" Add-on for Firefox10
*[http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2012/01/skype_click_to_call_supports_f_2.html Article: Skype Click-to-Call Update]
Make sure you have downloaded the most resent release of the Click-to-Call add-on from the Skype website.

Hi, gordo5460, and welcome to the Community,
This topic is also being discussed in this thread:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Other-features/click-to-call-not-compatible-with-firefox/td-p/1376946
We have to wait for for Click-to-Call update; is currently not compatible with FireFox 22 or Internet Explorer 10.
Update! A new release of Click-to-Call was issued on 16 August 2013, and it works on updated FF and IE. I also understand Click-to-Call is working on the Safari browser. Remember to enable the Click-to-Call add-on as this step is easily overlooked.

I got a notification to upgrade my skype so I clicked it and followed the steps but near the end, it said that 'Skype click-to-call' isn't being installed, during the upgrade. What's happening?

Hi, Acirrek_7, and welcome to the Community,
Sometimes it takes a few days to a few weeks for Skype to catch up in releasing Click-to-Call updates when browsers send updates. I had this same experience when I recently updated FireFox. Also, check your browser add-on's/extensions; I can't remember if it was Chrome or FireFox where I had to enable the extension for Click-to-Call.
Kind regards,
Elaine
