Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}

I do not know if this works or not : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/recaptcha-solver/

I did try this, the captcha window came up but again with no pictures clicking the addon icon revealed a window that seemed to need an api value. I did not proceed with that. I suppose interesting if it really is a captcha evader. course I also assume that captcha being created by google is probably gathering personal information so to me the real solution is for websites to not use the feature at all!

what do I need to do to be able to see Captcha images? I am using Noscript with Firefox beta channel currently on 61.0 for some time I have been unable to see Captcha images after I tick "I am not a robot" Captcha seems to be presented by a growing number of sites to protect logins and comments I have set "Trusted" with Noscript as many of the sites as I dare that No script is presenting to me but usually have to switch to another browser (Chrome) without Noscript to proceed I have disabled Noscript and Captcha still does not display images? Is this a Firefox issue or ???????

so, I guess I just allowed google as a third party to store cookies.... anyway, thanks.... we continue to live in a complex and devious world

The Captcha is done by a 3rd party website. That is why the issue was with the cookies.
