How can I fix LinkedIn not working in Firefox?
1. Check if LinkedIn is down
Often, the error is from the website’s end and not from the user’s end. There are chances that the LinkedIn server is undergoing maintenance due to which you will face issues logging in.
You can use websites such asDowndetectororIsItDownRightNowto know the current status of the LinkedIn servers. If the LinkedIn servers are down, then there isn’t much that you can do apart from waiting for the servers to go back up.
2. Re-login to LinkedIn
You can also try re-logging into your LinkedIn account. If the issue still exists, then create a temporary account and check if it works.
In case the temporary account works without any issues in Firefox, then there could be some issues with your primary account.
We would advise you to report this issue toLinkedIn supportand get a resolution from their end.
3. Clear browser data
4. Disable VPN
If you are using a VPN and trying to use LinkedIn, then you will likely be blocked by LinkedIn if the IP address provided by VPN continuously changes.
So, in order to access LinkedIn, turn off or disable the VPN app and check if this fixes the LinkedIn not working in Firefox issue.
5. Disable ad-blockers
Ad-blocker extensions block and interfere with the website’s script, thus blocking ads and giving you an ad-free experience.
While it enhances your browsing experience, it can sometimes cause unexpected issues and block essential scripts, resulting in multiple website errors. Disable the ad-blocker extension and check if this fixes the issue or not.
6. Install the latest browser update
There might be some glitch or bug present in the current version of the Firefox browser which may trigger multiple problems.
In such a case, it is advised that you keep the browser up to date to not only enjoy the latest features but also the bug fixes that come along with them.
