Cannot create new sub-folders or re-name folders

I am unable to create new sub-folders within my Local Folders, nor re-name existing folders.

I am using Thunderbird 128.1esr (64 bit) on a Mac running macOS Ventura 13.6.9.

The process I am using is to select the folder name that I wish to create a sub-folder fro, then Control-click to call up the sub-menu. The New Subfolder command gives no result, nor does the Rename command.

Any advice please?

Check Error Console (ctrl+shift+J) for warnings at the time you attempt to create the folder.
