reCaptchas don't load correctly, I get an unsolveable image select recaptcha as opposed to the checkbox recaptcha, loads fine on Chrome

Hi there!

I've run into some difficulty loading reCaptchas. I've tried on many different websites and none of them load correctly. Instead of the simple checkbox captcha, I get a captcha like the one in the picture. This is unsolvable because it doesn't display the verify button. I've tried starting in safe mode, disabling all my plug ins, clearing cache/cookies, changing websites from http to https and vice versa and disabling and then re-enabling javascript (yes it is currently enabled). I've been dealing with this problem for days and it is very annoying, especially when it works well on chrome. If you have any suggestions please respond.

Thank you!

Java is fully up to date, so is flash. Hardware acceleration was already disabled, I double checked to be sure. I disabled protected mode but that didn't do anything. I can't imagine the graphics drive to be an issue if it worked fine on chrome but I checked anyway and they were all up to date. Thanks for trying but none of these worked.
