Is that for a certain site, or a particular provider? (They are usually branded, or mention the name of the vendor somewhere on the screen…)

The sities in my bookmarks don't, but anytime I google or use Firefox to find something and I click on it, it goes to the Captcha. I solve it and it keeps coming back to solve again. I tried using the audio and I get a error there sometimes too, to check back later or something like that. The only browser I haven't had that with is Duck Duck Go but I don't have all my sites set up there.

So that's a google puzzle, showing for every search using Google like these? support.mozilla.org/questions/1589036

I'm wondering if the McAfee "Web Advisor" or other features could be interfering with the google protections. You can try restarting into Troubleshoot Mode from the Help menu which would disable this addon for a bit to see if you get better results, and also perhaps worth getting in touch with McAfee support about this issue if there's anything in terms of "web scanning" or "fingerprint protections" that you can turn off to look more credible to Google.

If Google doesn't work for you, it's easy to go to Settings and change the default search there, away from Google and to DuckDuckGo for example, right in your Firefox — so you don't have to move things around.
