linux, TB v115.3.1, Local Folders EMPTY after upgrade to v115.
debian 11, TB 115.3.1. Just upgraded Thunderbird: 1:102.15.1-1~deb11u1 -> 1:115.3.1-1~deb11u1 My Local Folders are missing. The parent folder is there. If I view folder properties, it properly shows the folder containing my many archived .msf files and .sdb folders. But displays nothing.
NOTE: my Local Folders are stored on /media/shughes/Transcend_v/@ThunderbirdArchvie/Local Folders , which is removable storage. I only connect it when needed, and of course, have to restart Thunderbird when I do. I will note, the removable drive was not mounted when I upgraded.
If this is already documented, all I can say is: searching support for 'missing local folders' turns up hundreds of results covering all platforms going back years. Make it so I can filter by platform, version, and date. Get the results down to something I can review in ten minutes, and I'll gladly use it.

miraculously showed up. ? ? I had previous closed (using the 'X', close-button) and re opened Thunderbird, probably four times, with the external drive containing my Local Folders mounted, and could never see any of the local folders contents.
Just closed it again, using File, Quit. Opened it again, and Local Folders now are working. IDK, perhaps there was some process keeping TB open until now. I had not yet take the time to confirm no process running between launches.
Thanks for the update. Please post new info if the problem returns.
