Bookmarks Library suddenly showing an 'edit bookmark' option which obscures the bottom half of the screen: how do I get rid of it?

Firefox Quantum 62 (64 bit). The library was showing Bookmarks normally, when the cursor must have caught something as it moved across the screen. Now a large 'edit' pane appears in the bottom half of the screen (see image) and I cannot find any button or menu item to remove it. It is also there on the History and Download pages. How do I send it away, and what would have made it appear?

This might be a problem with the Firefox version from the Ubuntu repositories. Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
