About this page
Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?
This page appears when Google automatically detects requests coming from your computer network which appear to be in violation of the Terms of Service. The block will expire shortly after those requests stop. In the meantime, solving the above CAPTCHA will let you continue to use our services.
This traffic may have been sent by malicious software, a browser plug-in, or a script that sends automated requests. If you share your network connection, ask your administrator for help — a different computer using the same IP address may be responsible. Learn more
Sometimes you may be asked to solve the CAPTCHA if you are using advanced terms that robots are known to use, or sending requests very quickly.

Firstly please remove your IP adress from your post since it's generally not a good idea to share it, because of malicious users using it to possibly break into your computer.
The warning you are mentioning occurs when Google has detected that an unusual amount of traffic has been coming from your system. What this means is that you may have done a lot of google searching, or maybe some malware ('the bot') has done some suspicious activities.
The problem is not in Firefox, but rather in the great amount of traffic Google has detected when you were using the web.
It's not possible to give the exact reason why this might be occuring right now, but I recommend scanning for viruses with your anti-virus and removing all the viruses you find.
I've also encountered this message a few times when researching topics like cyber security about a year ago. It's pretty logical Google found this suspicious as well, because I didn't research the topic before and things like 'hacking' can obviously be misused.
To continue browsing you need to enter and submit the chapta. Hopefully doing a quick scan for viruses will stop this from occuring again.
