Can't use the forums from Firefox anymore. I get above message on a recaptacha page but filling it out doesn't help. it just keeps tranfering me to that page. Works fine in chrome on same pc.

Any guidance? (already deleted cookies)

Sounds like malware or a virus or possibly a bad add-on has installed itself in Firefox.

Nah, I doubt it. I get those from time to time too. Last time it happened, I posted a Hot Deal, and then immediately edited the title to fix a typo or something. BOOM! RECAPTCHA!

Expletive removed forum software...

Edit: Anyways, are you using a VPN? Possibly that same VPN IP is used by multiple users, and if it hasn't been outright IP-banned by the staff here, then the forums may appear to see multiple people from the same IP address logging in and posting, which could I guess trigger the recaptcha.

The other thing that I can think of, that might be causing issues, might be if pre-fetching is enabled in your Firefox options, causing repeated rapid page-load requests.

Please leave the profanity out of this forum.

Okay, I have never seen that then.

In fact the issue can be solved by deleting cookies. here firefox changed how that works. You can delete them and then need to "save the changes". If you don't do that and close the dialog, the cookies are still there.

It just happened to me, add it to the list of crap that will eventually drive me away for good.
