What happened to 'tags' in the bookmarks? (lemm.ee)

I am unsure if this happened with the new update or if I noticed it only now, but I cannot add any tags while bookmarking a page from the star icon in the address bar. The whole 'tags' field as shown in the image is completely absent now when bookmarking in that way.

The only way to add/edit tags seems to be through the bookmark manager.

Is this a new feature or I simply realized it now?

Edit: if it's not a new feature, does anyone by any chance remember which version of Firefox last had that tags field?

I have the tag function as in the picture in 132. Do you use any add-ons that have something to do with bookmarks? I couldn't find an option that affects this either. Not even in about:config.

I found 3 solutions, all of which have the same solution. You should enter a bookmark tag in the Bookmarks Manager so that this appears. It's probably a bug since Firefox 116. Solution 1, Solution 2, Solution 3.

Now it remains to be seen whether it will work for you.

Edit: Have linked solutions.

Thank you so much for all the related info you provided. Very kind of you!

I already have used several tags in my previous bookmarks, so I doubt that's the issue in this particular case. I might simply have to check the add-ons I have at this point and see if any one of them is creating this problem

If the problem doesn't come from an add-on, it's best to download Firefox from the Mozilla server for your system in your language and see if it's there. This version is then shielded from the other Firefox installation and is like a new installation of Firefox. Also you can then narrow down the problem and see if there is a problem with your current Firefox installation or if it is due to something else.
