After a hard drive failure, TB reinstalled, all files were backed up on a Seagate Backup Plus Slim. What is the file name of the address folder to copy n paste?
OS Windows 10 Pro. Hard drive failure, new hard drives installed, 1 SS, 1 HD. All files were backed up as above. I found the folder with the bookmarks for Firefox and successfully installed them but what is the name of the file folder with all my email addresses? Can I also restore my original settings and filters??

If you really have backed up all files you could just restore your entire profile.

Your address books are stored in files with a .mab extension. Two of them, abook.mab and history.mab can be just copied into your new profile. Any others will need to be imported. I suggest using the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook addon to do this.
