Firefox VoIP Client

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the communication-dashboard dept.

libocannici writes "Abbeynet Labs has released the first version of a Firefox VoIP extension which is a full featured SIP user agent plugin for Firefox." The Firefox extension is completely stand-alone, with all VoIP functionality built directly into it. From one-click calling to SMS sending, this promises to be quite handy. All Internet calls are currently free, just requiring an abbyphone account, while PSTN calls have a small charge.

    You Linux Zealots never cease to amaze... with your incessant baseless criticism of Microsoft's stuff.

    For your information, zealot, not that you'll listen, this is one area that Microsoft is well known for its reliability in. In fact, they even announce up to a month in advance that their next cycle will produce compatibility issues with some of the newer extensions. This gives the dev teams behind the extensions plenty of time to prepare themselves for the changes and get a patched version ready for the next cycle.

    Why else would they release security fixes in a cycle, anyway? Their entire development process is based around this open standard and you continue to criticise?
