I keep getting "...contains new external links..." even though I haven't added any. Then the "captcha" process begins, first with the message, then the display is adjusted to allow space for the images, then nothing. I note "waiting on google.com" is shown and then finally the box for the images appears with "Sorry, something went wrong" and a retry does it all again. This has happened in the past (I'm using Firefox) except that the process has also worked in the past. Blocked for a day, now. Later, another try with the same result but then I noticed "Privacy Badger" was muttering (for instance, "red" for stats.g.doubleclick.net and "orange" for www.google.com), so I set its barriers to "green", and tried again. This time the final message was "Please upgrade to a supported browser", except that Firefox is one of those declared approved. And the "About Firefox" reports version 52.5.2 (32-bit) and that "Firefox is up to date" Similarly, I have just tried via gnuLinux (Mint) on the alternate use of the same computer, with the same prod "Please upgrade to a supported browser", and this is Firefox 57.0.1 (64-bit) There is no badger on this system. So, should I try moving the rodent with my other hand? [[User:Dinosaur|Dinosaur]] ([[User talk:Dinosaur|talk]]) 00:00, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
