Ok guys, bigga problem here with my Quazilla Fireshox

2 weeks ago i started to have problems with some sites(eg sliver.tv), like can't opening links(buttons on page) while inside onsite inventory. Then about week ago my captchas stopped to work. I cannot claim any free coins on gambling sites, i cant login any site which require captcha(for example chrono.gg)...

'Your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now. For more details visit our help page'
New images loading slowly. I can try to verify forever, at its always tells me to try again after pressing 'verify'

I checked-no malware, no spyware, no viruses.
Deleted all cookies/history/cache(and now can't login to any captcha site xD)
I tried to open mozilla in safe mode, without addons-nope
I tried mozilla on my mobile-nope(both wifi/lte so i know it's not my home isp/router problem)
I tried mozilla private-it works only on first captcha(images loading fast). Second captcha is not working(images loading slowly and 'please try again u dumb)'.

I dunno if it's about my account on mozilla(using sync on mobile and pc)?
I tried everything and nothing working...Dunno what to do...

Help me, i can't do anything, and i don't want to format my pc 2 months after last format only because of this stupid sheit...

PS. I forgot: i can't even synchronize via ESGST as it spins forever

If there are none, click bump.

Sorry, no experience with the issue. Maybe try a completely different browser.

their captcha is evil, that's for sure. I used to be able to pass it, without having to select their stupid cars, bridges etc. images, by using Chrome (or rather making them think I use Chrome with an agent switcher addon) and being logged into a gmail account. Currently this does not seem to work for me anymore. At least it's not as bad for me as you describe, I can still get it done, even though I sometimes have to go through like 7 screens or do the whole two or three times, because Google's opinion obviously differs from mine when it comes to what's a storefront or a street sign. On a few sites that allow me to do so, I just switched to solvemedia instead. Their captcha is annoying too, but at least it works on the first try afer they've loaded the code. Oh, and what kev said before is actually very good advice, try a vpn or vpn proxy, it depends a lot on your isp/ip address. I noticed that too.

Try to change to another browser? or maybe don't log into your google account or gmail, google may have blacklisted your account for doing recaptchas too many times daily, it's lame I know.

After you uninstall try clearing your cache, cookies and history. Don't reinstall the adblocker yet till you try things you've had issues with.

Also try resetting your browser to default settings.

If it works on Chrome, but not Firefox, try clearing all cache and cookies.

Try "Firefox Developer Edition"... it's like separate browser, but still a Firefox...
(for some reason I do not seem able to paste links into comments... ESGST bug, probably).

i was going to say that: try chrome. stick with it for a few days.

does firefox private use Sync?

if not, try with that new profile, do not login @Sync, normal browsing (not private)

https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/fzRXu/captcha-help unless you change ip and are stuck in it, there really isn't any solution other then asking sites to think of alternatives (like i did with humble bundle) or waiting till they lift that thing.

I just read your post. I know you mentioned that you turned the adblocker off, but have you tried uninstalling it and seeing if that solves the issue?

Turned it off, but not tried uninstalling it, but eventually i could get past the captchas again, so the problem was solved for me.
I guess they will lift those things, but it might take some weeks.

Sometimes an adblocker can cause some big issues that can't be fixed by turning it off and on. Sometimes you have to uninstall it for things to work correctly again. This happens with several of the most well known ones such as Adblock Plus and Ublock Origin.

Easy steps: delete cookies, site data and cache. Renew IP if possible. Use VPN if not.

Create a new firefox profile and tell firefox to start with it instead of your regular one. If that works at least you know where the cause is. Of course you still need to figure out and fix the regular one if its heavily customized, but at least you can rule it out or confirm this is the issue.

Safe mode that you tried is close to this but not the same. You can switch back and forth between profiles.

Created new profile-not working
On private browsing-its working
I can't change my IP even when rebooting router, so i think i need to just use some proxy

I do not really understand.(。-Θ-。)...

  1. Try with a different Browser.
    If that does not work then Firefox is broken.

  2. Do not you want to use anything other than Firefox? I was in trouble.
    Please restart first.
    Clearly delete cookies, caches, and site data in a state where no site other than "blank page" is open.

  3. You have not healed yet? Firewall software, security software and routers problems and problems of viruses and adware come out.
    Let's try other browsers. If it does not work, it is a bad problem other than browsers.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox? Check google re the cache, I believe I have read there are some things that stay behind even after you clear it. If you uninstall, make sure you search for every trace of Firefox and clean it all out. The uninstaller should take care of that but doesn’t always.

Other things to try: make sure flash and java are up to date. Try disabling all add ons, not just ad blockers. Turn them on one at a time to try and pinpoint the issue. Log out of Sync (if you haven’t tried this already) and see if that changes anything.

If all else fails open a ticket with Mozilla. They can direct you what info to provide to them to hopefully fix the issue.

Did you try Refreshing Firefox? It seems to go back to how you get it when you first installed it or something like that, but don't forget to read the page because it tells you what you lose and what not, hope it will help.
Refresh firefox

The problem is your IP. Unless you can change it, you're screwed. And even if you can change it, it'll only work for a while. The problem is on Google's side, not yours.

As more and more sites require recaptcha to login (or whatever other function), google is going to get more and more people with this issue, since it uses an algorithm to determine whether or not you're a bot. If you're logging into multiple sites daily and recaptcha is being used on all of them, there's a good chance google is going to believe anything from your IP is a bot.

If it stopped working in Firefox, soon it'll stop working in Chrome, IE, and Opera as well. Like I said, it's not on your side of things.
For me, it started in Chrome, and now none of the browsers work properly. Takes several (correct) tries to get through recaptcha.

You can try signing out of any Google accounts you might be signed into, but even that only works for a short time. Your Google account (if you use one) and the IP associated with it are flagged. Occasionally it'll start working properly again, but only if I've been away from the PC for a few days. It's frustrating and unfortunate, but this is really something only Google can fix.

why don't you stick for a few days with chrome?

also: problem is what your IP has done to get Google "angry".

which extensions you have installed (or uninstalled lately) ?

is that sliver.tv a "good" site?

beware: each "try" you do, you may get Google even more "angry", as a result. and you don't need that. you need just the opposite ;-)
