Need help with restoring the address book in Thunderbird. I copied the profile folder from Thunderbird, but when I opened the file, I noticed there was no abook.mab file. There is a abook.sqlite file??? There is 2 folders in the profile, one that is xxxxxxx.default and the other is xxxxx.default-release. Do I need both files? Cheer Karen

Karen, the current addressbook is abook.sqlite. If you've been a regular user, your MAB file was converted to sqlite back in release 78. You need just one profile. If you know which is the one you're using, you can delete the other one. If unsure, click help>moretroubleshootinginformation and scroll down to Profiles and click 'About:profiles' - that should display the profile you are using.
