Cannot comment or like on Facebook using older version of Firefox.

Whenever I try to Like something on facebook, nothing happens, and when I try to comment, if I write further than the small existing chatbar, it will not scroll to allow me to see what I'm typing. When I hit Enter to make the comment, nothing happens.
I'm concerned that Facebook simply won't work properly for me because of my old version of firefox (3.6.28), however I cannot upgrade to a newer version because of the age of my computer (running OSX 10.4.11), and I'm not in a position to get a new computer right now, so I'd like to see if I can find a fix.
I have already tried clearing my cookies and cache, I've checked my plugins for problematic ones, including "Effective Measure Community Plugin 3.1.0 (by Effective Measure Pty Ltd)" mentioned in another thread (it wasn't there) and disabled those it listed as being known to cause problems. I've checked to make sure my JavaScript is up to date and enabled. I've tried turning off all add-ons, and the possible combinations of some on, some off. I've tried adding a cookie permission for Facebook. So far, none of these fixes have been effective. I haven't been able to try troubleshooting in Safe Mode, because the option to run in Safe Mode is not listed under the Help dropdown menu.
Is there anything I haven't tried that anyone knows of for fixing the issue, or is my browser simply too outdated?

I don't know what versions of Firefox they test against at Facebook. It certainly is possible that some of the scripts have been updated so far that they have become incompatible. Might need to pose that question to Facebook.
First, though, you might test in a clean profile. This will bypass your accumulated customizations and extensions and give a truer answer to "is the problem version 3.6"? A new profile also will have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager as described in [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles]. Any time you want to switch between profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Any difference in how FB works? If the issues are resolved in a clean profile, you might experiment with add-on settings and see whether that could be an issue.
