Actual results:

Expected results:

If I go to Linkedin via Firefox I should see the search bar so I can look for people and comapnies. This always used to be the case. (see the search bar on top).

I attach the firefox screenprint, but have issues to add the MS Edge screenprint where you can see the difference (and where the search bar is available)

Hi Emma,
Thanks for looking into this. I appreciate it.

When you have a solution please let me know.

For the moment I am using MS edge, but I want to move back to Firefox

Resetting severity to default of --.

Hi Govert. I'm unable to reproduce this issue in Firefox 77 and we haven't heard of others having an issue with LinkedIn. So it might just be a problem with your Firefox profile.

Have you tried to do a hard refresh of the page?

Here are two ways to do it on Windows:

1. Hold down Ctrl and click F5.
2. Hold down Ctrl + Shift and click R.

Some other things to try: clear site data for LinkedIn, or running Firefox in Safe Mode.

HI Adam, Emma,

The control and F5 (hard refresh) seems to do the trick!

That's great for the moment. I will use Firefox again, way preferred above MS

thx for your help!
