beaniew That's very strange — without that extension, you shouldn't even have had an icon there. That extension is the thing that provides the system tray itself, for Dropbox to show up in.
I do have that extension installed, on Fedora 40, and the situation is the same as you originally reported — nothing happens when I click the icon. When I deactivate the extension, the Dropbox icon disappears entirely, as I'd expect.

HUH! But, turns out RESTARTING the extension (just switching it off and on again) did actually make Dropbox's menu accessible!

Thanks all, this does indeed work -- but it's not a satisfactory solution because it looks like I'll have to stop and restart the extension on every boot. That may be trivial for Linux mavens but I am not one of them.
