so lately google has been insisting that i am a robot (literally) when i enter a search on the quickbar on the top right for firefox.

Seriously this is unacceptable to me. Its google. Not some filehosting site or something. I'm making a simple search.... why do they need to captcha me?

anyone else getting this?

Google makes me do this sometimes when I try to search for site index's only. The two posters above have no idea what they are talking about, google will do this if you are using very specific botlike searches.

Incorrect. They make you do it if you have strange traffic coming from your IP. Meaning if I wrote a bot perform too many Google queries in a short amount of time [Let's say 100 in 30 seconds.], Google will ask for captcha.

So yes, they will make you do that. But it's not normal for sure.

I know some add ons for Firefox can cause this behavior. Try disabling some.

hmm i only have standard ones like adobe java shockwave etc.

I am on a shared network thats provided by my building... so i guess that could be the problem. But even so, something must be wrong with their algorithm or whatever. I got this captcha like 8 times in the last 3 days and I never spam their servers or anything like that.

Are you using it from a shared network? I get this sometimes from work because of all the people accessing google from our internal network. If it is a private home network and you are having the problem, I would definately assume that either someone is piggybacking on your network or you have malware.

Well looks like all the people in your building have the same IP. It's normal in a lot of Asian countries to be behind NAT all the time. I guess all you can do is wait for IPv6 . But if it really bothers you, you could always buy a VPN node and use that but that would be a little overkill to avoid some captchas.

They also have a few triggers that cause captcha's on a much lower query/minute count, a quick google search could have answered your question in a matter of seconds with much greater detail than anything you'd find here (short of a copy/pasta of a post on a different forum).

Computer might've become part of a botnet or something without your knowledge. If it'd then do enough queries to google (without your knowledge of it, of course) it might yield this behavior.
