Some captchas are completely invisible to FF.  You click on a 'submit' 
or equivalent and nothing happens.  Works with chrome, except chrome 
(old, I can't install a newer one on my old hardware) will do something 
that grabs the CPU and crashes the system unless I choose the untweaked 
profile.  IMDB won't work at all on FF and is iffy on Chrome.

Life used to be a lot simpler.
