Windows 7, Firefox 3.5.2 and Skype, very bad cocktail

by Syska 15. August 2009 20:32

Recently I downloaded skype after installing Windows 7. No problem it worked … a few days later Firefox, especially gmail started bugging, run slow, when writing mails keystrokes disappeared  … i thought that it was there servers that had some problems. But it did not stop so after more than 6 hours not being able to browse my email normal as in “fast”. I started looking about what I had installed lately and saw that crappy skype had installed a plugin. Maybe i agreed to it under the installation, maybe not … but it was causing all my freaking problems. Other states very just a little slow, but I also blamed the other end.image

How to uninstall it:

  • Start firefox ofcause :-)
  • goto the menu: Tools –> Add-ons
  • Find the Skype addon in the list and either Uninstall or Disable it.
  • Restart firefox

Now you gmail runs fast again … thanks for all this skype, and wasting my time debugging this.
