I've been using the forum every day for years. I always use the latest version of firefox on windows 10.
This morning, for the first time, I get this prompt

I tick the box and it seems to consider whether I'm human for a few seconds and then puts up the same prompt again. There's no error message.
I tried with MSEdge and it works fine.
Are other firefox users seeing this?

 

Hello,

Do you use a vpn?
I have seen this when i use vpn.
When i go to an other vpn server the verification is gone.

Do you use a vpn?

Thank you for your reply. I don't use a vpn.
I've just realised one thing that I changed yesterday was my ad blocker. I was using ad block plus, now I'm using uBlock origin. I've tried turning it off, but that didn't fix the problem. I'll investigate this some more later today.

 

I'm using Firefox 133.0 (i.e not the latest revision) with UBlockOrigin. No vpn. No problem.

Uninstalling the ad blocker didn't fix it. Using a private window works fine. Telling firefox to forget all cached info for the site didn't work.
Ah well, it remains a mystery for now. I can use Edge or a private window in firefox, so it's just a mild annoyance

 

Verify you are human

Not being human is like walking by a mirror and not having a reflection. Happens on full moon nights.
Not being human is like, after being shocked, laying on the floor checking for a heartbeat. "Thats not a good sign."

Clean out all your cookies and history.

 

I had a similar problem about a month ago, some sites stopped working properly. I ended up doing a "Refresh Firefox" procedure. Rather drastic (resets firefox), but it did save my bookmarks and saved logins. That did fix the issue. I had removed all add-ons before hand, cleared all cookies, history, etc. and none of that worked to clear the problem. Only the Refresh did the trick. In all the years I've used firefox, that was the first time I had to do such a refresh.

I believe that doing the above is supposed to clear the cached info for the site.

 

Only the Refresh did the trick.

I might try that.

 

For starters, are you human?
