Firefox can not access some sites that use identification system type "captcha." As you enter characters returns error response. With IE it does not.

My desktop using Win 7 Ultimate. On every page that gives error in entering the captcha characters, if you use Internet Explorer I get by with success.

hello edalsi, maybe one of your addons is interfering here - can you try launching firefox in safemode once and see if the problem is occurring there too...
