Amazon keeps asking if I'm a robot.
Amazon keeps asking if I'm a robot. This started happening this morning when I powered up my computer and Firefox did an update. Using another browser (Microsoft Edge} works fine. I noticed that when I went on a govt website to fill out an application, it would not load. Microsoft Edge worked. I cleared the cache. What did you do? version 116.0.1

Did you try Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search104 Post a full browser screenshot so we can see the issue. Sounds like something is being blocked and that's why you're not human. ;-))
In safe mode everything works fine however can disable all extensions and still have the problem. What does safe mode do besides disabling extensions and add-ons?
Safe Mode answer in the link i posted. see screenshot
I have no issue. see screenshot
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.

You can try these steps in case of issues with webpages:
You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).
"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"
"Clear the Cache":
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> [X] Cached Web Content -> Clear

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
I've found that it is effecting other things, like trying to access Disqus.
If you have the AdBlocker Ultimate extension extension then this is likely a problem with this extension as there have been several reports.
