I have started having this same problem. I create web pages for university departments and units. phone numbers entered either as: [phone] or as 555-666-7777 both will not display when using Firefox browser. They will only display if a bullet is substituted for the dashes. This affects both phone numbers that are coded onto new pages and phone numbers that are on old pages not changed in several years.The problem has only started in the last 6 months (approx.).

Reporter and also Mardi:
Can you check "about:addons" / about:support for Skype and see if it is listed. If so, please paste the version.

Also, please update to 3.6.13 or later.
