Google message about unusual traffic on the network
Although I received an answer on this question, I probably was not detailed enough to indicate why this seems to be an issue with Firefox's interface with Google, as opposed to only Google. When I'm clicking on the Google search bar I get the attached message indicating unusual traffic on the network and requiring me to do the captcha crap. What I failed to mention before is this does not happen if I use Chrome or if I go through Duck Duck Go and then into Google from there. It only happens in the top search bar on Firefox. The reason it's so frustrating is the captcha keeps going through multiple pictures, even though the captured screens are accurate for the requested pics. Perhaps someone can suggest a solution even if you still don't believe it's a Firefox issue. I'm not a computer or network expert so a more detailed explanation for how I can solve this would really help me out. Thank you.

Hi Doug, you could have continued in the context of your earlier question since it remains unsolved: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1519592
Could you explain what you mean by this part:

Do you mean using the DuckDuckGo website in Firefox, or using the DuckDuckGo browser?
Sometimes changes to browser settings or use of certain add-ons may cause modifications that raise objections. Tracking that down can involve some guesswork because Google doesn't publish a detailed explanation of why it considers some requests suspicious.
Does Google object to simple queries like puppies? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=puppies
For complex queries, does Google object if you open https://www.google.com/ and then submit the same search through the form on the Google home page?
