So I was on my skype for desktop client (Windows 8.1) when I noticed that my contact lists got much bigger, upon closer inspection I noticed that those were facebook contacts, I never used facebook to login into skype, my skype account and facebook account use different email accounts, I tried disabling it but noticed that the "find contacts on facebook" button was still available (meaning it wasn't doing it that way), either way, after toying around I logged off from facebook on firefox and... that fixed it.

So I'm wondering, how is skype reading my firefox sessions/cookies? is there any way to block external applications from reading these kind of sensitive info?

I have no skype plugins on firefox so it wasn't reaidng it that way

Skype shouldn't be able to read your Firefox session information.

Please report this issue on Bugzilla so that the Mozilla developers can investigate this further. Also, please consider contacting Microsoft about this issue as well.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
