I use Firefox as my default browser on my windows 10 pc. Why is it I am constantly having to verify my laptop with CAPTCHA nonsense??? I clear my cookies etc all the time. When I used MS Edge - never had this issue.

Also, why don't you have chat support? Email responses is rediculous and should be only used as a confirmation to a chat session. When are you getting live chat support?

Please respond to my questions asap. Thank you
