Add-on Preferences menu option not accessible for new Profile Switcher add-on in Thunderbird 68
I updated to Thunderbird 68 yesterday. I have used the Profile Switcher add-on in the older versions of Thunderbird without any problems for a number of years. I installed the new version of Profile Switcher as it said that the version I had wouldn't work with Thunderbird 68. The details about the new version of Profile Switcher said that I would be able to change the preferences in the Add-on Preferences menu option. However, I have not been able to access the Add-on Preferences so now, if I click on Launch Another Profile and select the profile I want, it closes the currently open profile without giving me the option to choose to keep them both/all open. This is really frustrating and, if it's not resolved soon, I'll have to go through the process of re-installing an older version of Thunderbird. Any help with this would be great!

Is it not listed here: 'Menu app icon' > 'Addons' > listed under 'Addon options:'
Or Is it not listed here: On the 'Menu Bar' 'Tools' > 'Addon Options' > select Profile Switcher.
After downloading the addon, did you restart Thunderbird.
Thunderbird has added additional options within Thunderbird via 'about:profiles'. 'Help' > 'Troubleshooting Information' Under 'Application Basics' Last item 'Profiles' click on 'about:profiles' It will open in a new tab listing profiles. You can use the 'Launch profile in a new browser' link for a profile. It does not open in a 'new browser' - it opens in a new window. It's just bad wording copied from Firefox and they forgot to fix it.
Thank you so much. I was looking under Tools > Add-on Preferences which has a greyed-our submenu saying "No Add-on preferences found." I've found it now with your help and all's working as it should be. Many thanks again.
