Lost the indicator showing which folder I'm in

I have lost the indicator in the folder pane showing which folder I'm in. It used to have a small color tab in the folder pane on the left hand side. Indicating that the folder was selected. Any ideas to get it back? Thunderbird 140.3.1esr (64-bit)

This ismall "color tab" is not the default to mark a selected folder in the folder pane. Maybe you used an add-on which is no longer compatible with actual Thunderbird versions. By default a selected folder in the folder pane is distinguished from other (non selected) folders by background color which depends on whether the selected folder is in focus or not. Exemple: in my picture th Sent folder is selected and not in focus

Thanks mapenzi that is interesting and useful. 'l'll have a look at my extensions. That coloured icon isn't very noticeable. It would be better to have a more eye catching indication.
