As the title states, everytime I start Firefox (a new session), I am asked to solve the recaptcha.

I understand that this is because of the unknown or malicious traffic from the network. But, when I use any other browser, I don't need to solve the recaptcha. On Firefox I have to do this every single time.

I tried updating the Browser, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now I have switched to Nightly but the problem is still there.

The problem was there with no add-ons i.e. the fresh install and also with a couple of month use.

You may be in Private Browsing mode or told Firefox not to remember.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off. and whatever else you want.
