I'm having a problem with firefox not handling callto with skype

I'm running Firefox 5 and Skype version 5.3.0.116. When I click on a callto link on a website a new browser window opens with the address callto:callto. I then get the offer to choose Skype to make the call again and if I select it again another new browser opens, this time with callto:callto:callto.

As an example, clicking on a phone number on my .tel - aled.tel has the issue.

Using IE9 with this version of Skype initiates the call as expected, which is why it seems to be that the problem is with FF rather than Skype.

Thanks, Aled
