I changed OSes from Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon to Linux Mint 18.3 Mate, set up Thunderbird as a new program, and now find that I have two profiles with different things in each one. One is called default-release, and the other is called default. Default-Release has folders for many different things, from Calendar to Mail to MiniDumps and several other things that look rather like the Program may live there. It has a name with many jumbled letters with .default-release at the end. The other also has a name with many jumbled letters followed by .default and no folders and only 3 .db files, 1 called .parentlock, and 1 called times.json.

Why do I have both default-release and default showing when I open Profile Manager? If I were to add a profile, which type would be created? Or would both?

There are no different types of profiles. Why you do have two profile folders, I don't know. However, the one you're actually using seems to work fine.

To find out your current profile folder see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_how-to-find-your-profile Then you can use profile manager to delete the other one.
