I have just set up reCaptcha on a form....when I test the form in IE,
it works fine. When I look at it in Firefox and type in the challenge
field, the characters that are displayed are strange symbols....why
the wierd display?

The URL is here....however I noted that on different computer, the
problem does NOT occur. So this must be a browser issue. I have the
latest Firefox browser...any ideas running on Windows XP on both
machines???

I tried it in IE, Firefox and Opera on Windows XP. Didn't get the
strange symbols.

You have 60 validation errors on the page.

Best to clear these first, particularly if it's a browser issue.

Try downloading the newest FF v3.5.5.   It seemed to work fine.
 
Lastly, I see your form was created in PhP?  I try my best to maintain a free hosting site @ orgsites.com and am having lots of problems adding forms w/recaptcha in them.  Would you allow me to use your form/code to "cobble" together a form for our needs?
