When I enter CAPTCHA characters, web sites indicate that they are incorrect. This does not happen at the exact same locations using MSIE and Chrome. How may I address this issue?

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift (Mac Options) > key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
