I'm only moderately technical (mostly not), and I'm still on Windows 7 because of some software I need (long story). I just upgraded to TB68, and when I opened it, my profile was nowhere to be found. I really don't want to recreate everything if I don't have to, but how do I get TB68 to use my old profile? And again, please tell me in baby steps. Thanks.

Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click about:profiles. Besides the profile in use, is there another one listed? If there is, and you select 'Launch profile in new browser', does your old profile appear?

How do you get this error if you've updated to TB 68? How many versions are installed on your system?

Open this location in Explorer:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles

AppData is hidden by default.

What are the names of the subfolders in Profiles. There should be at least one ending in .default.

8rfqoa8x.default wijzn8f3.default-release 2pw5wdyz.default-release-1

The last is the default that TB68 is using.

Try this: close TB, press Windows key+R, type thunderbird.exe -p Select 8rfqoa8x.default Does TB open with your original data? If that doesn't work, but you want to copy the address books from 8rfqoa8x.default to 2pw5wdyz.default-release-1, copy abook.mab (Personal Address Book) and history.mab (Collected Addresses) from one profile to the other, as long as you don't have any address books in 2pw5wdyz.default-release-1 you need to keep.
