I had to reinstall Firefox. It went off with no issues. Except, now, my search bar next to the address bar is disappearing. I went into Customize and it's there. But as soon as I switch back, the box disappears. How do I fix this?

Sorry for the confusion, this may be an experiment. Could you try this:

Type or paste about:studies in the address bar and press Enter (or Return) to load that page.

If you are enrolled in a user interface experiment, it should be listed on this page and there should be a way to uninstall/remove or to opt out.

Can you find it there (unified-search)?

More info about SHIELD studies and how to opt out globally if you prefer: About Studies.
