Skype is a popular VoIP and video chat service that is available for both desktop and mobile platforms. However, if you want to remove the Skype extension from Firefox, there are a few steps that you can take. First, open Firefox and click on the menu button (three lines in a row at the top right of the browser window). From the menu that appears, select “Add-ons.” Next, locate and click on the “Extensions” tab. You will see a list of all of the extensions that are installed on your computer. If you have Skype installed, it will be listed under “Skype for Firefox.” To remove the extension, simply click on it and select “Remove from Firefox.” ..
You could completely uninstall Skype, and then reinstall it without checking the button, but there’s a simpler (and more geeky) method.

The first thing you want to do is go into Tools \ Add-ons and disable the extension if you haven’t already. You’ll notice that there’s no uninstall option, which is rather irritating… Skype is very useful, but it shouldn’t pollute my Firefox.
Now close Firefox and open up a Windows Explorer window and browse down to the following location, adjusting if you installed Firefox somewhere else:
In that folder you’ll find another folder with the following name:
Just delete that folder (or move it somewhere else if you want to be safe), and then open Firefox again. You’ll notice that the Skype extension is no more.
