When you start Skype do you get a Skype for Linux Sign In window?
I get one with a title bar that says "Skype(TM) 4.3 for Linux" on Ubuntu
12.04.
I'm give the option to sign in with a Skype Name, or a Microsoft
account. I don't have a Microsoft account so I select Skype Name, after
which the window changes. It shows my Skype Name, and has a line for my
password. Under those two is a button labeled "Sign in" and under that a
link that says, "Can't access your account?" I'm never asked for a browser.
