I have always been able to move bookmarks into folders to organize them. That's why we have folders, right? So now all of a sudden my bookmarks won't move, I can't "grasp" them with my pointer. It doesn't work. Why is that? The date I noticed this beginning is 7/21/2020

If you have sync, and there is a problem anywhere, Shut Down Sync Immediately On All Devices to prevent the problem from spreading. Once the problem is fixed, perform the same repair on all computers/profiles before using sync again.
