Firefox! It's what's for dinner.
A little uncalled for? Especially when you're asking someone to go to a significant amount of additional effort to support a feature which is probably required by very few people?

Now, I'm not clear on whether this Captcha is displayed every time you make any contribution, or only when registering an account, but if it's the latter, then it seems almost *everyone* could manage to get images to display once for the purpose. Blind people aside, of course.
AFAICT it would only be on registering; we've had quite a few sprees of bot-automated account creation in the past (cf. Supertroll).
