Having some phone issues, have tried using an old laptop to access LL and EI for the time being, and the click function to reveal contact info (as well as photos additional to the first photo in the post) doesn't work. Firefox and Chrome same thing, hardware is too old for updated OS or browser versions, any workarounds ! Thanks
old browser/ hardware can't access numbers/photos on EI

Hard to tell without knowing how old your laptop is... we talking windows 95 old ?
Google the model # and see if its capable of booting off a USB drive. Then you can find a way to download a lightweight linux (ex: Lumbuntu or Mint).

13 year old Macbook Pro, fully pimped at the time, now Mac OS 10.7.5 , so not Windows 95 bad but not too far off. Thanks for the suggestion, and I may look into something like that if I get tired of this thing being a paperweight, but was just wondering if there was a quicker workaround to obtain functionality with some sites while my other device issues get sorted - thanks for the suggestion !
actually... you can probably get Linux Mint XFCE running on it quite smoothly beleive it or not. There's something to be said about Apple hardware quality...
Hard part: getting the image to a bootable USB key (will need someone with a working computer)
Easy part: running it right off the usb key without having to install it to the hard disk.

Btw, if you have OSX Lion installed, you might be able to just install last years version of Firefox : https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/45.9.0esr/mac/en-US/
Thanks for the tips - the version of Firefox I currently have is 48.0.2, so newer than then one in your link, but says that it can't be updated further on the existing system. I wonder if it's not something with the browser, or maybe some functionality of the browser version is lost with the old OSX? Thanks again for the help.
do you have some kind of adblocker in place ? Also, try it in private browsing mode just in case.
