Every time I try to search via Google on Firefox, I get a Captcha message because it detects "unusual traffic."

Whenever I open Firefox on my MacBook Air and attempt to search via Google, I receive the following message from Google with a Captcha request to verify that I am not a robot. "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending this request." This does not happen in Safari nor when i use Google on my iPad or iPhone - all of which use the same IP address. I have refreshed Firefox and it is on the latest version. This started about two weeks ago. There is no malicious software on my computer. I have cleared all cookies and browsing history. Help!

Since it only happens in Firefox and the same network works fine elsewhere, I’d check Firefox’s DNS and proxy settings next. Also try Google in a Private Window. If the Captcha still appears there, it points more toward something Firefox is sending to Google rather than your IP address.

If it's not already experimented, nevertheless, you can use alternative search engines. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox
