   mmm, really ? I find it more frequent to have problems with   
   FF than with chrome-based variants (ungoogled chromium,   
   brave, opera, vivaldi).   
   I could be possibly due to the load of privacy guardians   
   extentions I have in FF. Particularly they prevent every   
   recaptcha site to work under FF.
