Captcha impossible to solve on Firefox

more options

Hi, I have an ongoing problem with reCaptcha, across multiple websites. Every time I get a Captcha challenge, I have to do it about 15-20 times. Usually on the last one it's successful and goes through. Recently though, even this does not work and every reCaptcha is failed and websites think I'm a robot. I'm definitely not getting all these captchas wrong! It is making it impossible to log in to certain websites.

This is only a problem on Firefox. Captchas work fine on Chrome and I only have to do them once. I've tried using incognito mode, refreshing Firefox and using Safe Mode, and if anything, they've made the problem worse.

I'm using windows 10 and FF 64.0 (64-bit).

There seems to be a weird thing recently where if you are NOT logged into your Google account, reCAPTCHA tortures you, but if you are logged in, you can skip nearly all of them. reCAPTCHA is a Google service, so I don't believe that is a coincidence.
