If you're encountering frequent ReCAPTCHA verifications in Firefox but not in Edge, there could be a few reasons for this discrepancy. Here are some steps you can take to address the issue:

Check Browser Extensions: Sometimes browser extensions can interfere with website functionality, including ReCAPTCHA. Try disabling any extensions you have installed in Firefox and see if the issue persists.Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Cached data or cookies might be causing the repeated ReCAPTCHA verifications. Clearing your browser's cache and cookies can often resolve such issues. You can usually do this through the settings or preferences menu in Firefox.Update Firefox: Ensure that your Firefox browser is up to date. Outdated versions of browsers can sometimes encounter compatibility issues with certain website features.Reset Firefox Settings: If the problem persists, you might consider resetting Firefox to its default settings. This will revert all settings to their original state and may resolve any underlying issues causing the ReCAPTCHA problem.Check Privacy and Security Settings: Make sure that your privacy and security settings in Firefox are not overly restrictive. Sometimes, settings related to tracking protection or third-party cookies can interfere with ReCAPTCHA functionality.Contact Website Support: If the issue continues after trying the above steps, you may want to reach out to the website's support team for further assistance. They may be able to provide specific guidance or insights into why ReCAPTCHA is behaving differently in Firefox compared to Edge.By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the ReCAPTCHA verification issue in Firefox.

You can check the connection settings and check for possible issues with a Proxy or VPN service.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a Proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin), always make sure such extensions do not block content.
