Maybe that's why it didn't crash for me, I don't see that captcha. I even tried in a private session (that would not have any cookie, right?)
I have never seen a captcha for Amazon.

They seem to alternate the appearence of it. On Amazon.co.uk at least. One day it'll be Captcha, another day it won't.

So to have the ability to use Amazon on all days, I had to revert. :exclamation: Firefox 56 is no slower than Quantum anyway. At least for me.

Private Sessions use Cookies but wipe them after the browsing session.

FWIW:
I didn't want to wait for the month (or 2, or 6, or however many months) for the extension(s) I use to get updated, so I installed Waterfox. It will accept the extensions I wanted to use (don't know about ALL the extensions that used to work in FF). All I did was download the Linux version, run the unarchiver, then click on the executable in the directory where I unarchived it. It will grab your settings from an existing FF install and off you go. If you have any settings about what to do with downloads and startup tabs and other general settings, you'll have to reset that to what you want. Other than that, it just works (for me, YMMV).

Regards,
Phil (in NC for the winter)

P.S. Installed it in Win10 also, in case you care.

I've never heard of WaterFox. Good name though.
