Every Skype's user nightmare on Mozilla add-on has came true, with Mozilla announcing the closing down on the Skype add-on which they accused of causing over 40,000 crashes being reported in a week. Furthermore, slower page loads has also been cited.
As this extension comes by default with the Skype, users who have installed Skype, also installs the Skype toolbar regardless of the user's awareness. Currently, Skype programmers are resolving this problem. Mozilla who are in contacts with them hopes to restore the extension privilege given that Skype is able to sort out this problem.
However, the block is said to be a "soft block" where users are allowed to have an option of re-enabling the extension. The extension is said to be the No. 1 and No. 2 cause of crash since Mozilla's stable release, reported via Mozilla's bug tracker.
Skype is said to be releasing an update over this matter in near future.
