I am really tired of having to download the "captcha" files over and over. What am I doing wrong?

Hi tony220, Make sure that you're not blocking cookies. Try disabling ETP for a site and try again - Visit the site Click on the shield icon at the left end of the address bar and toggle ETP off.

Also, check that any extensions/add-ons aren't blocking.

Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-cookies-are-blocked-unblock-them

Tried both these things, results still identical, getting message "can't contact Captcha." This is idiotic. Why has Mozilla introduced this disabling "feature"??

I have tried all of five recommended steps to make sure cookies are not blocked. Still same result, "cannot contact Captcha." I have not "installed something" to block cookies. Any further suggestions?

Blogger, when I try to reply to a comment.

I write a blog on Google with the blogger app. Here's a link to the blog: modelingthesp.blogspot.com

When I try to reply to comments sent to the blog, is when I get the "captcha" issue. It's new -- this blog is over ten years old, and never used to have this issue.
