Re: [orca-list] Skype, google-chrome, chromevox, and orca.

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

You can apparently use Skype Web on Firefox if you set the correct 
user-agent string. If you search for the web.skype.com Firefox 
extension, it claims to handle that for you whenever you visit the site.


I have no personal experience with this extension beyond noting that it 
makes web.skype.com's "unsupported" error message go away, so other than 
noting that, I can't help you further.


Good luck.
