Details

The MoCo phonebook would be about a BRAZILLION times easier to use if the phone numbers were linkified in such a way that clicking them (on mobile) would, y'know, dial the number. Fennec first added support for this back in bug 437949, I believe. It's tremendously simple... Call <a href="tel:6509030800">morgamic</a> for a good tiem! Just tested this on a current Fennec build, works fine. Doesn't seem to care about spaces or dashes. I don't know the exact limitations but anything is better than the current non-clickable urls. If someone could implement they will have my undying gratitude and perhaps some bacon.

Summary: Make MoCo phonebook easier to use on mobile → Make phone numbers clickable in MoCo phonebook
I posit this would work in desktop as well, because many SIP clients (and Skype?) register with the OS for the tel: protocol
