Hello guys:

I've just downloaded a add-on for Tor integration. However, after restarting the Thunderbird, I can't launch it at all. So I guess that it may be caused by the new add-on couldn't be loaded successfully. Hence, I wanna delete the add-on manually.

BUT I can't found out the add-on folder for Thunderbird on OS X, I looked at ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla and Thunderbird bundle, but I can't found it. So I want to ask: Where Can I Locate the add-on for Thunderbird on OS X, which path?

Thank you!

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/torbirdy Read section 'TorBirdy with Tor and Tor Launcher' as it mentions TB not starting and how to fix.

Sorry do not anything about manually uninstalling.

Thank a ton! Your reply is really useful! Follow your instruction, I got it.

BTW: I've found the path where the add-ons of Thunderbird located in.

For OS X:

  1. Enter into: ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles (as shown in following screenshot)
