Screenshots or Videos

Additional Context

I saw this two or three times now myself. Closing and opening the extension window seems to help, at least temporarily (I don't know yet if that error persists). I experienced this on both my desktop PC and laptop (so on two separate instances of the extension) - and at least one other person reported this also in the Community forum: https://community.bitwarden.com/t/2025-1-0-browser-extension-ui-ux-megathread/79349/50

I can confirm the same behavior starting immediately after I updated my Chrome extension from 2025.1.0 to 2025.1.1:

Closing and re-opening the extension window does not seem to help, in my case.*

Also, I wonder if this issue is related to #13057. Perhaps the extension UI hides the "Folder" filter if there are no folders in the vault, and there is a bug that causes the list of folders to be cleared???

*Update: In my case, the "Folder" filter was restored (at least for now) by performing manual sync (Settings > Vault > Sync vault now).
