I have Thunderbird version 91.4.1 (64bit) that I just installed on my laptop. I exported my addresses from Thunderbird on my desk top which created a .cvs file. However, I cannot find a way to import the file on my laptop. I tried going to Tools/Import. When the next screen opens, I select Addresses but that's it. Nothing happens and I don't see any buttons to click on. I am attaching an image of the screen that comes up.

Am I missing something? I thought it was going to be so easy to export from TB and import into TB on my laptop. Will be grateful for any help.

First, I advise to set the default theme so the effects of the current theme don't make the buttons on the import window invisible. Second, it's easier to import an LDIF file, so when you export from the desktop, choose LDIF format in the 'Save as type' drop-down, instead of csv.
