I can sign in to my Ebay account from Google Chrome no problem......gets right in.

I can also sign in with Microsoft Edge.............no problem.

But EVERYTIME I sign in to Ebay with Firefox, I have to use Captcha....not once, but 2 times!!

Why ONLY Firefox??

How can I turn off Captcha?

It is unnecessary, it is annoying, it is a pain in the A__.

PS Firefox is my Browser of choice. I'd rather not have to switch.

Captcha's are sent by websites.


Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

It might help if you are logged in to a Google service and Google cookies are send, so you can give that a try. If you use Google Chrome then chances are higher that you are logged in or maybe GC is treated differently than Firefox.
