Skype totally corrupted the HTML on a web site including a page of contact phone numbers that I was updating via a web-browser HTML editor (on sites.google.com/site ).

Now all the phone numbers are only visible if one over hangs the mouse over what’s left of the phone numbers. And that visbility lasts only a few seconds. So I had to retype the whole address list ….

What a piece of crapware.

This does not seem to be a recoverable error. My HTML code is now full of junk like:

To disable number highlighting in Firefox, just go to:

Tools > Add-ons

You will see ‘Skype extension for Firefox’

Disable it and you’re done.

What an annoying piece of crap. Skype is becoming like adobe. I had 100 tabs open in FF and skype plugin was causing it to hang a lot. (”A script is taking too long to respond.. skype_ff_toolbar”). Finally I found the culprit.

Now when I wanted to uninstall, it asked me to (1) restart firefox (goodbye tabs!)
(2) restart windows (goodbye all open windows!)

What an intrusive piece of worthless crapware!!!

I have had it with skype. I am going to officially stop using skype from now on just because of this worthless toolbar.

Thank you for posting above info. The add-on made me swear a lot when editing a joomla-site; it kept altering the html in my text.

For FireFox users, I would recommend that they uninstall a similar skype phone number highlighting add-on/plugin for FireFox. I found that I was not able to access PDF files with FireFox after I got this plugin. The plugin clearly gets confused by the PDF format and somehow forces the browser to repeatedly reconnect and download the PDF and thus basically cause the browser to hang.

I have just spent all afternoon trying to understand why IE hangs when I try to run MS Update and eventualy arrived at the same conclusion — Skype Add-ons. I am running the latest 3.6.0.248 on XP with all the latest patches and still getting the same problem. The only solution I can find is to disable the Skype add-ons.
