Firefox 40.0.2 is not loading Skype extension

Add-ons Add-on Support

There seems to be a regression in Firefox 40.0.2 and its not loading the skype extension. When I updated to Firefox 40 the add-on stopped working,

The add-on seems to be enabled on the add-ons page but I don’t see the Skype icon in the top bar.

Here is a screen shot of some errors I see in the FF console when installing the extension manually - http://imgur.com/7Qi0oPd

The add-on is built using the add-on SDK 1.15

You can install the extension from here http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/click-to-call/

Hi,

The same happens to my addon. Worked fine up to Firefox 40. I found that is a problem with the new jpm and paths. Now relative paths are needed and other changes too.

For example:
Previous code, not working with FF40:

tabs = require(‘tabs’);
data = require(“self”).data;
…
contentURL: data.url(“html/popup.html”)

New code working:

tabs = require(‘sdk/tabs’);
data = require(‘sdk/self’).data;
…
contentURL: data.url("./html/popup.html")

Hope it helps.

Thanks but will Mozilla be fixing this issue?
Because several extensions would have been broken by this change?
