Request bridges from torproject.org gets stuck on "Contacting BridgeDB. Please wait."

Summary

Summarize the bug encountered concisely.

Tor Browser 11, going to Tor network settings, enabling "use a bridge" and choosing "request a bridge from torproject.org", then clicking "request a new bridge..." makes a pop-up show which just says "Contacting BridgeDB. Please wait.", I guess it should show a captcha.

Steps to reproduce:

How one can reproduce the issue - this is very important.

  1. Go to network settings
  2. Enable "Use a bridge" and select "request a bridge from torproject.org"
