Firefox is not loading captchas, blocking me from using websites that need this kind of authentication.

I'm currently running Firefox in safe mode. I've tried the suggestions on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load. My plugins are up-to-date, except that Firefox thinks Java is out of date, and Apple does not.

I've had this problem on http://www.mapyourvalentine.com/create/ and while registering for Firefox Sync.

Are you blocking 3rd party coolies?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See:

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I've already tried that, and starting in safe mode does not seem to help!

Any other ideas?

Hi, I find the Adblockplus to be the biggest offender here, if you're using ABP then it's most likely the offender. Follow these instructions:

-Go to a site where captchas aren't loading. -Click on the Firefox button top left of screen -Click 'Add ons' -Click 'Extensions' tab -Find your ABP extension -Click 'Options' in ABP window -Click 'Filter Preferences' -Click 'Custom Filters' -Then click on 'Ad blocking rules'

The rule thats blocking captcha is 'google.com^' just uncheck it and then reload a webpage where you would see a captcha
