I can't see Captcha. What's wrong with my browser?

Whenever I try to register an account on a website, I can't see the Captcha code for some reason. Is it an issue with security settings or my Java plugin?

To protect against potential Java vulnerabilities, Firefox asks you to activate Java for each website you visit that uses Java. If you trust the website, you can allow Java to run by clicking on the "Activate Java" message. If there is no visible area to activate Java content in the page, look for the plugin icon in the address bar, then click it and, in the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now". For more information, see the How to allow Java on trusted sites article.

Does this solve your problem? Let us know.


If the above does not solve the problem, you may need to do the same for Adobe Flashplayer.
