PubMed and PMC use Recaptcha and it's atrocious. It never works with Firefox. It keeps looping even when filled correctly.

NIH support staff is even worse as they refuse to acknowledge the issue and reply with a scripted useless response.

If I remember correctly, Recaptcha doesn't work on GrapheneOS either which is a separate issue.

Interesting, saw reCAPTCHA infinite loop for the first time in a long time just yesterday, on Firefox, and it was when I tried to access an article on PMC. Disabling uBlock and Enhanced Tracking Protection did not help. It looked like several automatic reloads, then one real reCAPTCHA showed, and infinite reload loop after I solved it.

Does not reproduce today though, and I never had issues with PMC/NIH before that.

I've seen it on PMC. Strangely fixed by switching to a different firefox container ("container" in this context: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-firefox-contain...)
