Yes, it's a CAPTCHA; reCAPTCHA (Google), actually.


I assume this requires some image viewer not installed by default and
not checked for


No, it's just a website embedded (loaded) into the Sync setup wizard.

I guess it's a connection issue on your end or between you, your provider and
the CAPTCHA provider, because it worked for me on both Win 7 with a recent SM
nightly (2.14a) and on Linux with SM 2.11.

The only other reason I could think of would be that the CAPTCHA provider's site
is blocked by some software on your end, e.g. an add-on. Sync takes care of
NoScript itself, but anything else (like AdBlock Plus) could interfere.


Nothing of that nature loaded, and probably wouldn't change with 2.9.1 vs. 2.11 
anyhow. Well, I'll look at the source and see if anything is obvious, maybe even 
install KDE and see if it's related in some way.


Thanks for the hints.

Sync setup issues

[Bill Davidsen]

I have sync on several machines, but trying to set up a number of virtual 
desktops for a course, I get this "prove you are not a robot" screen. I seem to 
recall a CAPCHA or similar prompt before, no nothing...


Seamonkey is 2.11 Linux x86 (32 bit), VM is Redhat Enterprise Linux v6.2.

I assume this requires some image viewer not installed by default and not 
checked for, Thoughts?
