"type The Characters Displayed In The Box"

[coalminer]

Hi,

Most websites nowadays require me to type the characters that are displayed in a box next to it.

Since about 1 month, Mozilla 3 don't accept the characters I type in the box on most websites.

When I try the same websites in Internet Explorer 8, the typed characters are accepted.

Any ideas?

Have you tried going to the official mozilla forum website, looking for the bug reports sub-forum and searching to see if anyone else has raised this issue and if there is a fix/work around ?

Try to minimize/maximize the window and post if this has any positive result.

As far as I remember this issue is known since Oct 2008.

I"ll second to search the Mozilla forum for advise.

Also make sure your Character Encoding is set to Western.

No result, but thanks for the input anyway.

Aha, this is a bug in Mozilla.

I did already some time ago.

The general reply was that it had something to do with the "accept cookies" setting in the Options.

But I try to change every posibility without succes.

This is very annoying as I have yo switch to IE8 everytime such a box pops-up and start over the whole process.

Sorry to hear that but in your case I would run the following procedure for debugging -

Disable ALL add-ons/plug-ins

no results, enable it

Check the current FF version number and try to find the version number you used a month ago, before the issue occurred.

Download this version from filehippo.

Download the free Revo uninstaller (http://www.revouninstaller.com/) and uninstall your current FF with this program (don't forget to set a restore point)

Clean everything! (the program will show you a dialog)

Restart your computer and install a clean version of FF

If it doesn't work I ain't got no idea no more...

Good Luck

There do seem to be quite a few search hits on Firefox Captcha problems. As WebFact mentions, try disabling all plugins - one site mentioned "noscripts" plugin caused their problem. If no solution, one way to keep from starting a new browser is to install the IE Tab plugin and set the sites you are having problems in its list.

Yeah, CAPTCHA, Google Toolbar might als be a culprit!

Maybe everyone will switch over to this technique > 3D Captchas
