constant cloud flare test
Since last week, virtually anywhere i go using Firefox Android I get the attached cloud flare test for that site. I use a VPN but turning it off doesn't fix it. I have cleared the cache, reinstalled the browser, and the problem persists. Curiously, if I log out and use Firefox without logging in, it stops. Chrome, Brave and Edge don't do this. Thanks, Mike

I had the same issue recently almost every site triggered the Cloudflare “are you human?” check in Firefox Android, even when the VPN was off. It turns out Firefox Sync (when logged in) sometimes keeps older browsing data or cookies that Cloudflare flags as suspicious.
What worked for me:
Go to Settings → Delete browsing data → select Cookies and Site Data + Cached images/files, then clear them.
Sign out of Firefox Sync, close the app, and reopen it.
Log back into your account, but don’t restore tabs right away just open a few new ones and test.
After that, the Cloudflare challenges stopped showing up for me. Seems like something in the synced session cookies triggers Cloudflare’s bot protection. Hopefully Mozilla patches this soon, but this workaround helps in the meantime.
