Add Click2Call functionality to Firefox without using Vonage's Click2Call program.
Dials most number formats, adding a leading 1 or adding the area code in your "from number" for seven digit numbers.

I open the xpi file with Firefox and I get a dialog asking me if I want to install the extension. I am able to do this either by saving it to a disk and opening it with "Open file..." or by dowloading it from the web site and telling Firefox to open it with firefox.exe. If you want to let me know what OS and version of Firefox you are using I will try to figure out what you need to do. |

What's up? | If I understand you correctly, your phone rings but the number called rings and then plays a recorded message. If you have caller-id can you verify that the caller id shows the correct number (it should be prefixed with C2C). Otherwise can you tell me what number your dashboard says you are trying to call. Finally, it is probably a problem with how I am formatting the phone number. Can let me know the exact format of the number you are trying to dial and possibly what web page it is coming from (if applicable). Thank you, Steve |

I wonder if this doesn't work with the new version of Firefox (1.0.1)? I highlight a phone number in a website and right-click and I don't get the option to call. |

I have not tested it with 1.0.1, it is possible that it does not work. I will check into it. |
