My profile files are not visible in Finder (OSX 10.10 & previous). Can I fix this?

Mozilla help site instructions often start with locating the Thunderbird profile files. I can see these from within Tbird and with a Terminal command, but not with Finder. Why not? I believe I have message index corruption, but I cannot delete the index file as directed.

When you select Help/Troubleshooting Information and click 'Show Folder', does the profile folder not open in Finder?

Instead of deleting the index msf files, you can rebuild them by right-clicking a folder in TB, Properties, Repair Folder.
