This is the first time I've seen anyone complain about the Skype
extension *not* loading into Firefox. I've seen people complaining
about the Skype extension loading into Firefox numerous times, because
the Skype extension has made the Firefox user experience worse (see
for example http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2011/01/mozilla-blocks-skype-add-on-caused-33k-firefox-crashes-in-a-week.ars
). In particular, the Skype extension is notorious for getting
re-enabled after Skype updates if the user has previously chosen to
disable it.

I'm curious, why do you or your wife need the Skype extension (as
opposed to initiating or receiving Skype calls from the UI offered by
the Skype app itself)?
