As the title states, everytime I start Firefox (a new session), I am asked to solve the recaptcha.

I understand that this is because of the unknown or malicious traffic from the network. But, when I use any other browser, I don't need to solve the recaptcha. On Firefox I have to do this every single time.

I tried updating the Browser, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now I have switched to Nightly but the problem is still there.

The problem was there with no add-ons i.e. the fresh install and also with a couple of month use.
