The personal address book in Thunderbird is not listed in "all address books". I only see "Mac OS X address book" in the list of all address books. Also, when I click "add to address book" for a specific email address, it afterwards does not use that saved address for auto completion. How can I get my old personal address book back?

Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Open Folder to open the profile folder, close TB. Is there an abook.mab file? Is it read-only? If you rename it to abook.BAK and restart TB, do you see an (empty) Personal Address Book in Address Book?

Do you know what happened between the time PAB was there and then disappeared? TB crash or OS X update?
