I looked around on suggested ways to address the problem and found two systems - CAPTCH and Akismet. I consider both of them in this email along with the reasons why I am debating using neither of them. Then I ask for your

We have been contemplating a complete rewrite of our web software, Noosphere, that runs PlanetMath (http://www.planetmath.org) and PlanetPhysics (http://www.planetphysics.org). The current development framework is simlar to slashcode (Apache-mod_perl-mysql).

I can connect to it just fine with the latest Firefox on my Windows 10 desktop PC, but not with Firefox 52.6.0 on this CentOS 7.4 laptop. This has been an on-going problem for several weeks. Google search results are sketchy. slashdot.org may have been a DDOS target today, but as I write this

I have set network.dns.disableIPv6 true. Any idea why firefox is so slow? Jerry
