Update your Firefox plugin for Skype

We recently identified an issue where a certain version of the Skype plugin for Firefox was causing Yahoo! Mail to load slowly and sometimes even producing an error message “YDOD error 999”. Many thanks to the Skype team for helping to identify the cause and quickly fixing the issue.

If you are using the Skype and experiencing any performance issues with Yahoo! Mail, please upgrade to the latest version of Skype. You can download version 4.1 from Skype. After you upgrade, check in Firefox to ensure you have the latest version – 3.3.0.3971 – of the Skype plugin. (In Firefox, just click ‘Tools’ then ‘Add-ons’. In the window that opens, find Skype and check the version number.)
