I've been using LibreWolf for about a year, and I have not experienced endless / non-functional captchas. As far I know this is because LibreWolf pretends to be Firefox. Looking in the devtools confirms that Librewolf is sending a firefox UA.

My experience is that anything that tries to tamper with the UA will send CF into a frenzy. My regular firefox instance is pretty much okay. Unfortunately there is a bunch of super popular crapware shit like Teams and Slack that refuses to properly work on Firefox, unless you tweak the UA. The last time I had to do this was about half a year ago, but Slack refused to let me "huddle", unless I changed my UA. Same with Teams, it straight up said I need to install chrome if I want video chat. Any time I forgot to change back my UA, CF would not let me in anywhere. I got the captcha, clicked on it, it said "all good", reloaded the page, and I got redirected back to the captcha. Endless loop.

  Just curious, what kind of changes or tweaks do you typically make to your UA and why?

    I just gave two examples above.

      You gave examples of when you change your UA, but didn't actually say what change you make. Are you changing it to match a Google Chrome UA, or what?

        Yeah, I change it to the Chrome UA
