Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com
If you have let Skype hijack your network already (Aka if you are a Skype user), you have noticed that Skype hijacking your browser, to get quality control feedback after a call. You may be n the middle of a fantastic site, like this one! And viola you will see the Skype page instead of this nice article, if you happened to have ended a call.
You can do two things,
uninstall skype using instructions here,
Modify your browser behavior to keep both.
I hope you are sensible and have Firefox installed, if notnow visit Geemodo site and click on the install firefox button. It is a great browser and you will get much more benefits that just fixing Skype annoyances.
Once you have Firefox installed and made your default browser,
Click on TOOLS menu on the Firefox,
Click on Options,
Click on TABS, tab, and you will see;
Open links from other applications in:
- A new window
- A new tab in the most recent window
- The most recent tab/window
Select the second one.
Now Skype will open in a new tab.
Your problem solved.
May be Skype should fix this in their application. Get the feedback from user in the Skype application! Duh!
