First of all, if you do have Pub 98, then you can produce your site with it,
and the results will likely have better cross browser support than Pub 2003.
You can run both versions on your computer.
If you want to stay with Pub 2003, then you need to realize that it produces
some "smart" code for IE, and some "dumb" code for other browsers, and
sometimes that code just doesn't look good in FF or other browsers. To tweak
it, you can:
First of all always run the Design Checker under Tools, to see if there are
any basic problems with your layout and design. You have apparently used the
insert html code fragment to insert your skype stuff. Make sure the code
fragment box does not overlap any other element, and perhaps if nothing else
helps, try dragging it off the page into the scratch area and see if the
pages look better without it.
Second, go to Tools > Options > Web tab. Uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow
PNG...", and switch Encoding to Unicode UTF-8 coding and if that is what you
are already using, try Western European (ISO).
Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller Publisher Web pages:

Don't use Masterpages.
Use Publish to the Web to produce new HTML files, delete your old files, and
upload the new after testing.
Download and install FF even if you don't want to use it for browsing. Then
when you publish to the web, direct your output to your computer somewhere
you can find it. Open FF, File > Open and browse to where you saved your
files and open the index.htm file to test your html before you upload it.
