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 works in Chrome,but not Firefox, and it's on, why?

    I use both Chrome and Firefox, I prefer Firefox on my Laptop. I installed Skype and click to call on both, everything is current, including FF. I click the Skype link in Chrome, it goes to the Skype permission page then dials out, works fine. I go to the Skype-highlighted link in Firefox, the little dropdown comes down under the link, and I click call, again, nothing. I went to Skype, and a tech remotely went through my issue himself and could not find the problem, and suggested contacting Mozilla support. AARRGH . Please help.

    Do you have parental controls enabled on your computer or have other security software that might interfere?

  • Skype click to call is not working in Safari 6 wit...

    My Skype click-to call is not working on Safari 6 with OS X 10.7.4.  The number highlights, but when I click on the number, nothing happens. I do have Skype installed on the computer and it works fine. I am running Skype for the mac 5.8.0.1027 and skype extension for safari 2.1.0.10405. I have two other macs which are running OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7 and the click to call (2.1.0.10405) works great on both of those. I can not get it to work on the mac running Lion. Any help? Thanks

    I reverted back to Safari 5.1.7 from Safari 6 and now Click To Call works.
    For anyone wondering how I did this, you can view instructions here:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/posts/59342/revisions
    I am new to using Macs and was able to follow these simple instructions. Takes a while for Pacifist to install 5.1.7, but it's worth it to have Click To Call working now.
    You will not be able to do this if you have Mountain Lion as Mountain Lion requires Safari 6.
    Lastly, the next time you update your Mac and it asks if you want to upgrade to Safari 6, say NO. At least not until you see that a fix has been posted here in these forums by either Skype or Apple.
    P.S. I posted this reply using OSX 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7

  • 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.

  • Skype Click to Call - plugin is unresponsive - ANN...

    Why do I repeatedly see the message
    Plug-in Unresponsive
    The following plug-in is unresponsive: Skype Click to Call
    Would you like to stop it?
    Yes No

    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.

  • Skype click to call interferes with Microsoft Offi...

    Skype click to call interferes with copy/cut-paste in Excel and generally in Microsoft Office. Once installed it allows text-only pasting leading to time-loss in reformatting text. The problem is easily resolved by unistalling it.
    Here are some proposed steps to improve it -
    It needs better bug-testing before release
    It needs to move away from piggy-backing on Skype (without asking user's permission to install/ update itself) and instead needs to be launched separately. This would also solve the iddue (for Skype) of people abandoning and uninstalling SKype altogether because of the buggy Skype click to call thing
    Respect the user and the user's choice - and finally never ever take your user for granted (as the auto installation of Skype click to call has demonstrated)

    Me too! I thought it was a Google Chrome problem. I even rebuilt my laptop over it and spent a whole day on the phone with Geeksquad! I just uninstalled Click-to-call and now the problem is gone. 
    This is a really big deal, people use copy/paste all the time and expect the formatting to work. I'm telling everybody to uninstall click-to-call and/or don't install it in the first place. I hope somebody gets serious and fixes it. And, Skype will have to acknowledge the problem and tell me it is fixed before I will give click-to-call another shot.
    Not trying to be a jerk - that is just the truth of it.

  • Skype Click to Call slows down Facebook

    Same as others on this thread.  Facebook slows, then freezes, then a pop-up says Skype Click to Call plug-in unresponsive.  I see this pop-up has been plaguing others for several months now.  I have been seeing it for about a week now.  I uninstalled Click to call, so other plug ins were blamed. Now S. Click to call is back.  Why has Skype not fixed this?  And how can I fix it?

    Click to Call is installed automatically when you reinstall / update Skype using the Full installer. Go to the Control Panel and uninstall Click to Call Plugin toolbar.

  • Skype Click to Call on Firefox 39 using OSX Yoshimite 10.10.3

    hey guys, i am tyring to install skype click to call on firefox or chrome but its not working for both browsers i am on  OSX Yoshimite 10.10.3Firefox version 39Chrome Version 43.0.2357.132 (64-bit) please help me get this installed.

    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.

  • Plug-in "Skype click to call" unresponsive

    For several times I wrote in the Give Feedback area that, meanwhile I am working, a window with above message with the request if to stop or not jumps on the screen repetedly and, in spite of the kind of reply yes or not, it comes out again and all my work is stock. I asked how I could repair this issue, no reply at all. Should I pass to Google +?

    I use Skype Click-to-Call all the time, and have never encountered these error messages.  Are you using the most recent version of Skype?  Please try turning this feature off; sign out of Skype, wait a minute or two, sign back in to Skype, and re-initializing the feature -- unless you do not wish to use it at all!
    Here is how to find Click-to-Call in my Win7 PC version of Skype, as of today is 5.9.0.123 : Starting at your Contacts list,
    Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Advanced Settings -> un-check Use Skypeto call to links on the web

  • Skype click-to-call isn't being installed during t...

    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
