We have been using this file in Box for weeks, suddenly today the ribbon is missing and I can not see who else is editing the file. I have tried unclicking the "simplified ribbon" on the top right, but nothing happens.
Question
ribbon missing when opening an excel file online

Best,
I am having the same issue as Amy in Firefox (cannot toggle Simplified Ribbon off). When I open the same file in Chrome, the Simplified Ribbon is already off. My organization has a number of apps optimized for Firefox, so I'd really prefer to be able to concurrently have my Excel files open, with the full Ribbon available, in Excel Online in Firefox.
I am having the same issue as Amy and Chris. I have attempted opening all of our excel files, in multiple browsers, and still get the same result. I also followed the instruction France provided, to no avail. The only thing I have noticed is that when I switch between tabs within an excel worksheet I get formula bar functionality but nothing else.
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for bringing this matter to our attention!
We have received similar reports from a small number of users reporting the same issue that their Menu Bar is burred out when using Excel online. We investigated and worked with Microsoft so this issue should now be resolved.
