Import and Export Tabs not available Premiere Pro

Question

When I am in a project and want to import assets, I cannot click on the Import tab at the top of the screen (under the File menu). I can see the word "Import," but nothing happens when I click on it. I can right-click in the project panel and import and I can click on File>Import, but I want to scrub through clips in the Import Media browser like we can when we first create a new project.

The Export button is also unavailable, even when I have the Timeline selected. Again, I can go to File>Export>Media and it's all available, but the Import and Export tabs at the top of the screen do nothing.
