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.

    With all this development for FF, it makes me shed a tear for IE users. If they only knew.

      If only you knew. There's a large community out there that makes "extensions" for IE as well, you've just never bothered to look.

      Sadly, Microsoft's security patches keep breaking compatibility with these "extensions".

      He doesn't know. That's the beauty of IE "extensions" ... they just show up on your computer, by magic!

      It's the state-of-the-art in software distribution. They install it on your computer before you even know you want it there. Microsoft has always been ahead of the curve here.

    Yes, Firefox is truly becoming the 21st century EMACS. It's a decent OS, all it needs now is a good web browser ;).

    What really worries me is when the EMACS developers realise that they can replace their built-in web browser with Firefox and when the Firefox developers realise that they can replace their built-in text boxes with EMACS. The resulting bloat will collapse in on itself and the Earth will be sucked into the newly-formed black hole.

    Sure. Just build massive electric fans to blow the pollution away and invite the hungry people over for dinner.
