Since using Firefox 5 whenever I complete a captcha page on any type of form it does not work. Once the code is entered and submitted the box just clears and a new captcha item comes in and this continues, the only way to get out is to quit firefox and go to Safari or Chrome to complete and submit the form.

Chosen solution

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

Thank you, starting in Safe Mode corrects the problem. So, now I can just go through and check off the Ad-ons and identify the culprit.

Many thanks. tcbloke
