Firefox restart and tabs = Google says I'm a robot

Yesterday I let Firefox update. After it restarted and opened my tabs, some of which were on Google, Google decided I was a robot and made me go through captchas. If Google wants people off their platform, this is a great start toward that goal!


The bad thing is, I'm still getting this today and have not done another Firefox restart. Guess I need a new search engine now. Jeez. Sort of unbelievable.


I get that captcha at coffee shops all the time. I wonder if so many tabs refreshing at once hit a rate limit.
