I migrated my profile per the instructions using the profile app but when I open Thunderbird I still get the new account setup page. What do I need to do to fix this?

Never mind. The new version of file explorer was not showing me hidden files so I copied the wrong profile folder.

Got to love windows.

Just an FYI. Use %appdata% in a run dialog (windows key+R) to always open file explorer in the hidden application data folder for the current user. Regardless of Windows version (it gets the appropriate documents and settings on XP)
