CloudFlare broken loop

more options

let's keep it as brief as possible.. i have no idea what the hell the degraders of cloudflare are doing, for the past YEARS all sites that required cloudflare worked just fine, and now i lost access to multiple sites on firefox because of the cursed "are you human: captcha loop" i'm looking for extensions, i'm seeking github codes that i don't even know how to execute. the loop keeps demanding me to change the browser to a chromium.. isn't this supposed to be treated as a targeted cyber crime? from google against mozilla? how do i fix the captcha endless loop?

Chosen solution

I would start with an extension like Captcha Solver as that seems to deal with CAPTCHAs. Extensions that deal with cookies can also cause issues, but in most cases reCAPTCHA should work transparently and unnoticed.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click "Refresh Firefox" in the Troubleshoot Mode start window

want proof?? captcha 1 the site rejects "human verification" "replicate able?" EVERY SINGLE TIME! captcha 2 that's spotify! the login on FireFox is frozen forever! "replicate able?" EVERY SINGLE TIME! captcha 3 that's anytime i try to enter any file downloading site on the CURSED CloudFlare "the screen keeps refreshing nonstop" and the captcha is never resolved. "replicate able? EVERY SINGLE TIME! i only use the windows web FireFox browser. i don't enter these websites on phone. FireFox either needs to find a permanent replacement to CloudFlare, or needs to hack through it and bypass it! this cursed WALL that prevents any entry that's not on a chromium .. is a cyber crime!

troubleshoot steps i tried: clearing all cookies and cache for the website in question. didn't work. i am planning on trying: going to an endless looper and disabling all extensions and then re-enabling them one by one, and check.

okay! .. alright! i didn't even need to start up firefox in "troubleshooting mode" .. the moment you stated maybe "recaptcha auto solver" is the problem.. after all the extension hasn't been updated since 1 year ago.. i disabled it .. and my brain is unable to register the fact .. i CAN login spotify again.. and i CAN enter the cursed recaptcha sites! .. YES i'm in! it was "recaptcha auto solver outdated extension" the problem! problem solved.. for now. thanks! truly, genuinely thanks!
