Floor lamps are lights that sit on the floor. They are not table lamps, which are designed to sit on tables. Floor lamps are usually taller than table lamps.

I tested the bulb, of course, on another fixture. It's fine. And the lamp is plugged in.

Then I guess you should consider replacing the lightbulb socket, but can’t say more specifically until we see an exact unit

@mcb48 if changing the bulb does not help you may need to check the wiring in the light fixture itself. Remove the bulb (unplug your lamp) and take a picture of where the bulb normally sits. And one of the bulb itself. that way we can see what fixture your lamp has and hopefully can be more specific with our answer.
