A web page which has a competition running collects the personal info then asks you to copy a code .when you type the code usually numbers and or numerals or a mix of both, using FF the error message appears stating the code entered is incorrect. If however I use IE the code is always accepted, The code is usually wavy and a mix if upper and lower cases.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
