If I use the extension, firefox fails. They need a programmer. And some quality control.

Hi there – I’m another Peter at Skype, and one of my jobs is to keep eyes and ears open in the blogosphere to make sure that we’re aware of what people are saying about our products.

Feedback is very important to us (whether positive or negative) and I pass blog posts of interest on to the relevant teams here, so that they can incorporate the feedback into our product development.

You can find out a bit more about the way we work on the Skype blog. I’m sure Peter will get back to you with a response shortly – and please give either of us a shout if you have any more questions.

Thanks for the quick feedback, Peter. How did you find this post so quickly?

Were you able to verify the issue?

Hi Artem,
Thank you for your feedback! We are continually improving the extension and it is getting better with each release, but as you forcefully point out, there are still problems!
We especially appreciate your discovery of only having the name recognition enabled causing memory leaks.
I am the person responsible for these issues and I apologize for the trouble we have caused you. We will make amends and improve!

Best regards
Peter Kalmström, PM Skype Toolbars
