been running thunderbird beta for a while, regularily updating to latest beta

today started thunderbird and had the new setup popup

tried starting using thunderbird.exe -p and creating new profile then starting import wizard and pointing it to my original profile, import works, but again just get the new setup screen on restart

checked my profile, contains over 3gb of data, all files intact, i have almost a dozen acccunts setup in it from various providers

ver odd, any ideas please?

Open the profile folder file prefs.js in a text editor, with TB closed. Are the account details missing? If so, are there files like prefs-1.js, prefs-2.js,...?
