I am unable to log in to http://forums.mozillazine.org/. It keeps saying I have tried too many times to login and it asks for letters or numbers in picture. I enter it and it keeps on with the same answer.

Perhaps I am at the wrong site. To get to this site log in I had to go to Support search my question indicate that I didn't find a answer the ask community and then a place to ;og in with my info.

forums.mozillazine.org is a independent forum that is not a part of nor run by mozilla.org as you can see at http://www.mozillazine.org/about/ and bottom of right sidebar on mozillaZine forums. It has been owned and run by a single individual for years now. The forums.mozillazine.org started back on Nov 4. 2002

Mozilla started this support.mozilla.org/questions support forum years later and it got going around 2007 or 2008 as people wanted a more official support site for desktop Firefox which then later expanded to other things more recently. Yes Firefox was not first released in Nov 2004 as many mistakenly think.

The forums.mozillazine.org is still active as many Testers of Firefox hang out in http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 in which has helped hugely in Firefox development for over twelve years now.

Many new to mozillaZIne forums mistakenly think it is a Mozilla forum based on Mozilla in name or the fact that it tends to show up in first results over support.mozilla.org in search engine due to age.
