3 weeks ago Qiqqa's Google Sniffer is broken because google actively rejects embedded browsers, i.e. browsers which present a "browser fingerprint" that's ever-so-slightly different from the most major browser brands (Chrome/FireFox/Edge), and even then they reject any browser they deem "too old".
See also a large set of Qiqqa github issues regarding this issue if you want to know more background and ways this shows up.
The work-around is, unfortunately, to use a major brand browser and seek and download the PDFs using that one, then import them into Qiqqa using, for example, the "Watch Folder" option, where you may Qiqqa to look at the internet download directory.

Hi.
I've just loaded Qiqqa onto my Notebook PC - all seemed to be working well in adding documents to my Library. However, when I try to use the BibTex Sniffer, nothing works. Google Scholar asks me to use Captcha to verify my identity, but won't let me tick the relevant box (it eventually says "Could not connect to the reCAPTCHA service") and I can't sign in to Scholar, either (it says something went wrong). I'm definitely connected to the Internet - am I missing something obvious? I did add a large number of documents, but this started with the very first one...
