I am using a Mac, and need to have my profile be on an external drive. I edit the profile.ini file per the instructions I found here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb

but it's not working. I must have the path wrong. Again, I am using a Mac. Here is the info in the profile.ini file:

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=0 Path=Macintosh%HD/My%20Passport/Thunderbird/Profiles/o6fqy09d.default Default=1

Do you see anything about the path that looks incorrect? The "My Passport" is the external drive.

Also, if there was an updated disk image for Portable Thunderbird, I could try setting that up but all I can find is a very old one which I tried but it won't update.

Thank you, Todd

The "My Passport" external drive must be mounted somewhere in the file system. That's the path you need to use.
