I am trying to reset my Mozillazine password, but CANNOT read the captcha words, so I cannot login. Over the years I guess I have used all my email addresses, so CANNOT create a new account.

I am EXTREMELY frustrated with FF, and Mozilla about other things, so this is just the icing to have me move to Chrome. Does anyone else have problems with captcha, or know of a way to read the words?

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
