Hello Ken,
Thanks for the great detailed problem solving info.
I see you mentioned specific third party software, is there a way to
contact you outside of our Skype forum, I have a few questions and I didn't
want to disrespect the Skype only rules here.
Thanks,
Mike

another idea. to anyone on this list if you donât have it get Ccleaner
thatâs c, cleaner. I run it each time I do any antivirus or malware
scan if it picks up a problem. I use not only windows defendor for 10 but
also malware bytes. if either one gets something I will then run
ccleaner. it does the same thing disk cleanup does and more. cleans up
the extra stuff in your registery too. note that if you run ccleaner
youâll likely have to reenter passwords when you log on to sites like
facebook or pandora but that ccleaner really does a good job. also make
sure firefox is up to date that could be it. but run that anti virus and
malware scan youâve likely got something in there. that is a very
unusual event. any time something unusual happens on my machine I run
scans with defendor or malware bytes or both. even it it turns out to be
a false alarm. better safe then sorry Huh?

Again what I would suggest is in this order.
1. Uninstall ff and restart
2. Uninstall skype and restart
3. Run a reg cleaner if you have one and restart
4. Reinstall skype and restart
5. Log in and see if you still get that cookie prompt
6. Restart, reinstall firefox and restart and sign into skype to see if
you get the issue. If you do you know the culpret is FF not skype.
hope that helps a bit.

Amen Ken!
Skype gives their product away for free to the entire world and has for
years on the hope that some day they will find some way to be repaid that
won't have to come from it's free subscribers.
As a fellow blind person I'm just glad that they created something that
most of the time we can use that works at all!
Next month will be 30 years since I first got involved with screen
reading tech and computers that are blind accessible.
If you think it's frustrating now you should have been around 30, 25, or
even 20 years ago when they were telling the blind community that DOS was
the best we would ever get and Windows would never be accessible for the
blind! LOL
Oh, not to mention anything and everything in those days had to be bought
and paid for, even the things that didn't work at all you bought at your
own risk no one gave any guarantees,and no such thing as a 30 day free
trial! LOL
As a community we need to have a greater attitude of gratitude, and just
not be so hair triggered to start finger pointing at developers that
disappoint us when using their free stuff. LOL
That's why we are all here now to help each other cover the ground in the
middle that the sighted world doesn't even know exists or for sure never
gives it much thought during their day while they are trying to carve out
their own way to survive.
I'm very grateful to all of you in our little blind Skype community who
helped me several years ago get my Skype feet wet. I have had much
success working with it and have been able to do things that I once was
told by well meaning sighted people would be impossible for the blind to
ever do.
Love to all of you for what you do for all of us, and a very special
thanks to Mr. Doug Lee.
For ever grateful,
Mike

this doesn't seem to be a problem with firefox or skype never heard of
something like this. but I think you had better understand something
absolutely your not going to like this but I think everyone on this list
will tell you the same. developers don't owe you or anyone else here on
this list one thing. skype is still a very good and very reliable
product I participated in a game on skype the other day with only one
major issue and that was a a strange stuttering issue in the audio. I'm
pretty sure it was weather related. not sure why you signed out I have
my skype set to sign me in automaticly when skype starts. also have it
set to start automaticly when windows starts. you might before
complaining about how rotten skype is to developers work on
troubleshoting a problem. did you scan for viruses/malware? what
windows version are you using and a few other things like that to
consider. but don't blame developers for every little issue. the
developers of programs or websites don't owe any of us anything just
because we are blind. that's not something you may like to or even want
to hear, but it's a fact.

I use Skype for windows, the latest of course. However, I took my
laptop to work couple of days ago and signed out from Skype to not
receive alerts or that I may forgotten to set it on do not disturb.
Anyway, I went to sign back in and it gave me the following message.
Cookies must be allowed. I figured on my default browser, which is
firefox how to change that and I enabled cookies. Well, the same
message is still being spoken even after uninstalling both twice,
Skype and firefox. I even removed all Skype data from the C. Still,
that hasn't fixed the problem. It insists to remember my Skype name,
and the password field is not even shown because it is remembered
despite two attempts to remove all Skype related information. Most
absurdly, though, I even attempted to create new account and well, the
process is never finished because the service is temporarily
unavailable. That's the message I get when I am almost done. This is
frustrating indeed and I'd like to notify Skype developers, that I am
extremely disappointed with their service. The quality of what used
to be the worldwide reliable chat client is not good enough. Please,
pass this on to whoever works for them. I believe some Skype
developers may watch the list and thus, I wanted to make this clear,
this is heavily unsatisfying.
