Somehow, using Firefox on Linux greatly increases my "risk score" due to the unusual user agent/browser fingerprint, and I get a lot more captchas than, say, Chrome on Windows. Very frustrating.

Lots of it is just enhanced tracking prevention. If you turn that off for those sites, the captchas should go away.
