Manjaro 19 virtual machine, can't open Fedora 31 thunderbird profile
I have just created a Manjaro 19 virtual machine (hosted on fedora 31) and installed thunderbird. As I've done for many other VMs, I copied my .thunderbird directory from fedora 31 to my home directory on Manjaro. However, it errored out with the "you've tried to open a profile from an older version of thunderbird..." Both Manjaro 19 and fedora 31 are using thunderbird version 68.5.0. I've tried several different ways including using profile manager with no success.
When I run thunderbird from the command line, I get these error messages:
JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/XULStore.jsm, line 66: Error: Can't find profile directory.
- !!! [Child][RunMessage] Error: Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost

I am at a loss for where to go now. Does anyone have any ideas I might try?

it errored out with the "you've tried to open a profile from an older version of thunderbird..."
With Thunderbird 68, in the command line in the Thunderbird program directory, start with
thunderbird.exe -P --allow-downgrade從原來的回覆中察看解決方案 👍 2

Thanks very much, that worked perfectly the first time. Wish that was somewhere in the help from Mozilla.
I had previously done a work around by recreating the mail folders and then uploading the actual mail from my Fedora installation but that missed out on a lot of stuff. This did everything perfectly!
