Lately I have been to a few websites to download movies. Since I am not registered there I can only do slow downloads and before downloading I have to enter a CAPTCHA code. All that works fine with IE but with Firefox its a gamble. Most of the time the CAPTCHA code typed in is allegedly false even when the letters were easily identifiable.

Yes, I cleared the history, cookies and what not. With IE it always works and with Firefox it usually doesnt work. I want to know why that is.

I run into this problem whenever I have cookies blocked. I'm not sure if this affects "reCAPTCHA" for example. But whenever a captcha isn't accepted many times and keeps failing for me, I quickly enable my cookies and try again. It always works for me after that.

If you have a website where this consistently happens, copy and paste the link here and I can test my theory there.

www.fileserve.com

http://cocacola.com.sg

at filesonic I have registered my name but dont pay, so I allow cookies and it still doesnt work with FF
