Why doesn't Skype Click-to-call work on Windows 8.1?

Why doesn't Skype click-to-call work anymore? I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now when I click on a highlighted phone number it asks "Which app should I use" or some such microsoft text. But no application is listed. Apparently it does not work from within Firefox (I have the latest version). And I can no longer find a Skype Click to Call application or extension in Firefox. Do I need to use another browser or is there a fix for this?

Sorry to hear you are having probloms

I currently have skype click to call installed with firefox and windows 8.1 up to date. I would advise you to re-install skype and its click to call addon and see where it gets you

Thanks. But...

Can't find out how to remove click to call. All it offers to do is to allow me to disable it. So I'm in a quandary. Says it's installed, but it will not work.

Uninstalled and reinstalled. Stay tuned.

It opens Skype, but it does not open the number and make a call. So the reinstall did not work.
