This is a special Christmas gift for users that installed and used our popular Mozilla VoIP Extension, but also for all of you who would like to start using it right now.

A new version of the VoIP Extension is now available for download and it’s not limited to the Abbeyphone VoIP service only. You can insert your favorite VoIP service or even your company’s Asterisk PBX. The following VoIP providers are already included: Free World Dialup, Gizmo Project, VoIPStunt, VoIPCheap and Abbeyphone of course. More to come very soon.

However, you can configure your profile for any service you like, you just need to insert the information of your service’s SIP server.

The extension is available for any Firefox or Flock browser under Windows, Linux and MacOSX.

Now you can finally experience one-click away phone calls directly from your browser, using your favorite VoIP service or even your company’s SIP server.

For those who already installed this extension before, you won’t receive an update notice. You have to go to the website and download the extension from there.

Everything is FREE, but this version includes an experimental overlaying box that appears as soon as you open your browser and that is capable of showing ads. We still don’t know if we’ll keep it in the following versions or if it’s going to become a model for us to monetize this extension.

In the meantime, enjoy. Any feedback or comment is always appreciated.

Hi everybody, I know that this post was published long time ago, but I´m really interested in the extension and I´d like to share with you several doubts:

1.- With wich version of Firefox is compatible the VoIP extension?

2.- Does anyone know where can I find the features of it? I would like to know what video codecs are supported.

Thank you so much and I hope that you could anser me.

Regards

If the adds are links or otherwise non-privacy invasive (i.e. without access to your ip address and browser info) then the ads would be all right and if your plugin is good and I can be assured of privacy, I will even attempt to support your advertisers. But only if I can be assured they will not be data-mining in any way - and that you will not invade the privacy of users of the plugin.

I am one of the many who use 'free' services to avoid the privacy invasion inherent in paid-for internet services. I don't have a problem with paying but resent any data mining.

Please put a unambiguous non-squirmy clear statement of any privacy implications of using your plugin on your website.

I would also be more than happy to buy you that cup of coffee, but not if it compromised the privacy of my internet browsing.

  1. Originally when Abbeynet’s Mozilla VoIP Extensions came out, I panned it. And while I will admit I’m still not a huge fan, I do like the direction is heading. Instead of being an Abbeynet-only tool,they’ve opened it up to other SIP providers. A number of pre-defined SIP services are included in the latest plugin. However, there is now nothing preventing you from putting in your own SIP configuration. Good stuff! See article. [IMG]
