Where (in what bookmarks folder) is that bookmark create?
Is that in the unsorted folder or in one of the others?
Can you confirm whether the star on the Navigation Toolbar gets highlighted?

Do you mean that if you open a link in a new tab the the star on the Navigation Toolbar gets highlighted automatically without clicking this button?
Did this started recently?
Did you reboot the computer?
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

In a folder I created. The star Does't get highlighted
What kind of folder is that?
Is that a so called smart bookmarks folder (place:) or a normal folder?
Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
Just a regular folder. I created it when I imported my old bookmarks from my old computer which was running win7 and last years ver of FF.
I fixed it. Exported book marks, deleted folder, imported bookmarks, no more problems!!!!! Thanks for your help.
