Works for me on Linux. There is an iframe with source www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/

Do you see anything if you right-click in the space where the captcha should be and open the Inspector via Inspect Element?

You can also check the Web Console for errors.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
