I agree this is incredibly annoying, and usually leads me to just close the tab rather than try to get past it. Their loss. Obviously you can't do this for food stamps, so when it is necessary to get past one I keep a burner Firefox profile in my .bashrc: alias firefox-throwaway="firefox -no-remote -profile $(mktemp -d)" This creates a command `firefox-throwaway` that starts Firefox with a new profile located in /tmp. Since it's not got any about:config customisations it usually works with reCAPTCHA (as far as Firefox works at all with reCAPTCHA...).
