Do you know what is idiotic and time wasting? It is when people are having some sort of problem with Pale Moon, but they never provide any helpful information for us to solve their problem. Like what you provided above or should I say, "not" provided.

You've done this on another different topic thread (Mega.nz) in this forum too. How about helping us out and providing a link to where you are having the above problem.

And also console output for the site, enclosed in code ( </> button in the editor) tags. But of course he will ignore the template on what information to provide, like so many others do, because it's so much more productive to go back and forth with 20 questions than provide all requested information at first.

Sometimes people just want to vent, and commiserate. :think:

Maybe not the best place to do it on a support/issue-report forum, but this is where they chose to do it.

One could even say that the only reason some users are here is to vent about everything. Especially if they choose user names reflecting that... :shh:

Sorry for the snark. I'm pretty sure I can't have been the only one thinking it, though.

Yep, this user has a history.

Not providing a link, means: "regardless of link type", affecting google captcha in all situations in pm..
google: "google captcha test" & try the first or second link to test. if nothing happens to you, then one of my usual
classic addons was affected in its functions with the latest pm. so i'll go test disabling them one by one.

No, that doesn't mean it. This means that anyone who wants to help you will have to find some link that you tried (probably guess?), since you could not check all the links on the Internet and cannot say that the captcha does not work on all pages. In addition, for example, it’s difficult for me to remember now at least one link with a captcha, and even more so I can’t be sure that you tried it too.
Providing at least some link for testing is good form.

Haven't you realized that this is a completely unnecessary action that simply wastes someone else's time, although it could have been avoided?

It means you're not providing us with steps to reproduce and no way to know what page on the 'net is causing an issue.
Troubleshooting by necessity will need as much information as possible to narrow down where the problem may be. So system information, add-ons, URL (fine to provide just an example, but we need something that you have confirmed is broken for you) - all of that is essential. Without a way to reproduce the problem we cannot fix anything (if it's ours to fix)

Not everywhere the captcha appears, but everywhere you tried. This is probably 3-5 places out of millions.

5 days and counting since this thread was started, and still zero system information (or any sort of constructive information) is forthcoming. OP seems to enjoy wasting their and everyone else's time.
