Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7

I run Skype 3.8 or so, text message daily with son who YESTERDAY EVENING upgraded to new Skype 4.0.  My text inputs, under my up-to-date-Firefox, do not show in my aggregating Skype conversation window. HE sees them, and IE handles this "different versions of Skype, in text-messaging mode" without difficulty at both ends of the Skype conversation. TIMING OF THIS SUDDEN CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR suggests that something in Firefox's passing on the data is now incompatible with how IE on the other end is passing it to, or displaying it in conjunction with, Skype 4.0.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Shut down machine, cold start, same behavior.  My wife is chatting with him, identical setup except she is using IE, right next to me, all is fine.

Please report problems with non-Mozilla add-ons to their developers.

INVALID AND RESOLVED--dumb reaction. apologies.  a) It fixed itself, and, b, more importantly, has no tie-in with Firefox.  Senior moment.
