Thanks mia for moving this line of discussion from Amex Forum to Technical Issues Forum.

I now understand this is not a board software issue and probably wouldn't choose to burden IB staff. I usually go to our Travel Technology Forum for my silly computer questions and/or problems.

Just tried both IE and Chrome and you are right. I do see phone numbers on FT on non-Firefox browsers.

Skype will do this? I have no idea!

I do have Skype with my FF though. Could Skype be the culprit?
