If you’re a fan of Skype’s Click to Call browser plugins for Windows, you probably know back in January Mozilla “soft” blocked this toolbar because “Skype Toolbar is one of the top crashers of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13, and was involved in almost 40,000 crashes of Firefox last week.” The Skype Click to Call add-on/plugin auto-detects phone numbers on web pages and lets you dial them via Skype. Personally, I see this as a bit of an esoteric feature of Skype, but perhaps a lot of people do use it?
In any event, Skype just released new updates to the Skype Click to Call as part of release build, 5.6.0.8153.
• Support for Firefox 5 and Firefox 6 on Windows
• Minor improvements to Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox on PC
Here’s to hoping they resolved the crashing and performance issues.
