update Thunderbird address book from abook.mab to abook.sqlite

I have just installed the latest Thunderbird version. I am trying to create a Thunderbird address book from my previous (8/26/2022) abook.mab into an abook.sqlite file. I believe I have followed the rather straight forward suggestions i.e. rename the current abook.sqlite to abook.sqlite.bak etc and copying the previous abook.mab etc into the new profile, after having shut down Thunderbird. I reopened Thunderbird, but found no address book. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Rolyer

Fairly straightforward. These are the four clicks from main view. - tools>import - import from a file - import an addressbook - import MAB file
