How To Uninstall The Skype Firefox Extension

Skype’s annoying Firefox extension doesn’t have a proper uninstall option, but you can get rid of the blighter with a bit of simple hacking.

I’ve complained before about how the Skype Firefox extension renders most numbers you encounter in your browser meaningless, but despite having promptly disabled it, I only recently decided to get rid of it altogether.
