Is this some scam or have you seen this before? I don't do that many searches and do not have this problem with other browsers. Now I can no longer use Google for searches in Firefox. I get the Google error page that makes me click the "I'm not a Robot" and says:

Yes, I am "private" but cleared all and restarted. I just clicked the "I am not a Robot" and was OK after. I hope this does not return. Support for google says it can be the central IP address, not the one with my computer. So I'll see if it returns or not.

Well, the problem still exists with every Google search. Does not happen with other browsers like Edge. So in Firefox I switched search program to be DuckDuckGo. Bye Bye Google. If I feel I need it, I will use it in Edge.
