can no longer add, edit, tag, or remove bookmarks - when I click on the icon, no dropdown appears
I can't figure out which topic to use for this but I can't submit it without one.
When I click on the star icon in the address bar the star icon is filled in, and existing bookmarks do show with the filled-in star icon and they work. But I no longer get a dropdown where I can assign a folder, edit, tag, or delete an existing bookmark, and the pages I've tried to bookmark don't show up in Recently Bookmarked so they haven't been added. I don't know if it has something to do with the toolbar?
Nothing I can find online helps. The places.sqlite file in my profile is not read-only, and I refreshed Firefox (stupidly, before I took a screenshot of the pinned shortcuts on my New Tabs page) and that made no difference. The only extension I use is UBlock Origin. Changing profiles did not help. This is on my personal laptop and no organization controls my settings.
I stay up to date on Windows 11 and Firefox updates. I do use a VPN but it never interfered with bookmarking functionality before. (I see Firefox offers a free one now but I've got a couple of years left on my paid subscription).
I asked the community but got no replies. (I did "reply" to add more information which no longer applies, and I can't seem to delete the "reply".)
Thanks in advance for any help!

Can you Refresh Firefox? You can get to that by typing refresh in your address bar, and a button will appear.
I've already tried that and it made no difference. But thank you for responding.
Enter about:support in the address bar and click the Verify integrity button in the Places database section. It should produce a log, paste it here for analysis.
