Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (skype) isn't associated with any program.
Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Firefox 3.6.13. Created a call me button from the following address http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/tell-a-friend/get-a-skype-button/
Placed the button on my website and when using Firefox to click on the button i get error : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (skype) isn't associated with any program.
the HTML used is
<!-- Skype 'Skype Me™!' button http://www.skype.com/go/skypebuttons --> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/js/skypeCheck.js"></script> <a href="skype:wingusupport?call"><img src="http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/buttons/call_green_white_153x63.png" style="border: none;" width="153" height="63" alt="Skype Me™!" /></a>
How do I instruct Firefox to open Skype 2.1.0.81 already installed and running.
Thanks

Partia solution. This is general to Ubuntu (and probably other Linux distros that use gnome/gconftool).
From a terminal window comand line, enter these two commands:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/skype/command '/usr/bin/skype %s' --type String
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/skype/enabled --type Boolean true
I rate this as a "Partial solution" because it works when you don't have skype running, but if skype is running, then you get a new instance of skype that just complains "Another Skype instance may exist."
Duh!!!!! Why doesn't it just "activate" the skype instance that is already running and bring the focus to that Skype window?
