Skype graphic invading and hijacking my email text

When sending my email via gmail an appointment time in the text 08.00-9.30 appears to have been hijacked by a skype advert. On searching some chatrooms it may have something to do with parsing and url's. This means nothing to me. When right clicking to remove the link all I get is options saying "call" "call from mobile" or "add to skype" Why do I wan't to call from skype? Why wasn't I asked if I want this link? Why can't I remove it? This is an invasion of my privacy and I don't like it. Please help. There is a little blue skype "S" logo to the left of the text and a pink "FREE" to the right that I cannot remove!! I did notice the email I replied to had skype logo's next to their Telephone numbers in their email footer. Could that be how the code got into my email?

Any help appreciated

hi, please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and disable the skype click-to-call extension - it parses the content of websites for phone numbers...
