I'm at SEATAC airport trying to access www.google.com via the public wifi with Firefox. Apparently you really don't like that because it's stuck in a Recaptcha loop displaying captcha after captcha after captcha.
It shouldn't be surprising that they're sceptical of connections from an airport public wifi.
I can't help but notice that Chrome works. It's your _competitor_ Firefox that you don't seem to like.
If you're ever there again, it would be interesting to try some of the other chromium browsers like Edge or Opera. Maybe there's something that handshakes with the CAPTCHA. Or if you're on an Apple device, try Safari which is the other non-chromium browser. R's, John
