Is anyone else having a problem...
a year ago
trying to get into FA via firefox? I'm asking cause I had to use microsoft edge to get into my pages?
My brother is not having any trouble using either his tablet or mobile phone. But, when either of us try to use the computer at the present time (after 11 pm Eastern time) it won't go past the login. Both of us are thinking that either firefox is being its usual assy self or there is a problem with reCAPTCHA.
Anyone have any ideas on what might be going on?
And if amyone else been having a similar problem today/tonight getting in?
Update: Well, I'd just found out the REAL reason for reCAPTCHA not working on Firefox. Google is responsible. I'd looked at a reddit thread talking about the problem, as well as looked at Downdetector which shows that this is affecting a lot of sites and have used a demo test to see if reCAPTCHA is working properly, and it confirms to me that the problem is with reCAPTCHA, not Firefox or FA, especially as I am still not having a problem using it on Edge, which is what I'm using right now.
Some folks are thinking that Google is doing this so that folks will use their chrome feature. If so, bad form, as folks are starting to call them out as only sites that uses ReCAPTCHA is being affected, rather than Firefox overall. Hopefully Firefox will create a patch to fix this, while folks will give Google a necessary spanking because of the mess they'd created trying to get folks to leave Firefox and use their browser instead.
While I do have issues with Firefox, I'm not eager to use Edge. Or Chrome for that matter, especially if I'm being forced to use it. Bad move, old sport!!!
Update 2: reCAPTCHA is working again. I'm guessing that it was fixed at some point today. So, with that, no more comments. Thank you.

Doubt it's a beta.
Everything was okay until after 10 pm last night. Everything time I press on then log in, it won't do squat.
No idea what the problem is and it's been driving me nuts all night.
You can try clearing that and the cache.
Then again sometimes FA is just slow to load. I assume may be a typical ddos attempt?
Then also clear the cache
Wonderful.
Sometimes the recaptcha auto refreshes without updating so displays an incorrect one. Emcountered that bug before.
Sounds like may be a local ip block if a vpn works
Just hope a correction is soon made.
There are a couple of workarounds to get FF to work. For me, I'm just hitting Tools > Browser Tools > Responsive Design Mode which tells the page you are a different mobile browser (its a dev tool), then recaptcha works fine on the login page (you do need to refresh the page after entering Responsive Design Mode first though) and once I'm logged in I can uncheck the responsive mode and go back to normal.
I hope the correction will be uploaded soon and that Google spank itself for causing the problem.
Sadly, I think that Firefox will get the brunt of the backlash, not Google.
I hope not though, FF is best browser.

It got so bad that I couldn't login for a month, and now I stay logged on, because I'm afraind that if I log off, I'll never be able to log in ever again.
First off, get a user agent spoofer extension for Firefox. There are several available from Mozilla (I used "User-Agent Switcher and Manager").
Then, select Safari 5.0.4 running on Windows 7.*
That allowed me to log in. Then I disabled the user-agent switcher and continued browsing FA.
* Other browsers and operating systems might work. I tried spoofing various versions of Chrome but they didn't work.
