Image recognition reCAPTCHA asks me to solve it dozens of times

I were able to use system no problem so far on android 4.4.2 and firefox mobile, selecting images required.
Today after solving image selection in first try I get message: we require correct answers several times. (loosely translated from local language)
After solving it 23(!) times I finally got chance to submit reply JUST to get information that reCAPTCHA key expired, try again (multiple times).

I have the same for two days now. I have a workaround: disable JS. The no-JS captcha usually lets me through in 2-3 tries instead of 30->expired->try again for 30 times infinite loop.

It really sucks how opaque the recaptcha organization is. No way to report bugs or get proper replies.

I also have this issue. I am not able to confirm my no-ip domains from firefox on Android (I have solved *many* times though maybe more like 10 times rather than 23). It works without even prompting me to solve puzzles from Firefox on Linux.

Adding a 'me too' here. Freaking frustrating!

Me too. I tried disabling Javascript, but for me that didn't work. Recaptcha didn't even appear. For now I have to go to my desktop computer... I wonder, is this limited for a few users only? I've had this issue for weeks now!

I'm almost afraid to say that going into a month of implementation, reCAPTCHA v.2 has worked like a charm w/ only one livable glitch. For some reason in Chrome, the first time I click on the "I'm not a robot" checkbox it puts the green check mark and will pass without displaying the challenge at all LOL. It still has some security efficacy in that a human action is needed to proceed and the spam attacks have stopped. But I'd love to know why it skips the verification that first time. If I reload the page or it times out, THEN I get the challenge window. But so far, haven't heard or experienced any of my users getting the tribulation of multiple challenges (23?!). Kind of terrified it will happen to me someday. Seems like Google provides NO support to us, the users/admins using their reCAPTCHA. I realize it's "free", but still, SOME SUPPORT would be nice. 8/
