Saved searches dead in TB 102.5.
I just upgraded from TB 91.something to 102.5. (No, I didn't install 102.0, I just upgraded in the usual in-app fashion.)
(1) My saved-search folders are non-functional -- just blank lines. (2) Even the Saved Search item on the File>New menu is completely absent. So I also can't create new ones.
(Help! One of these functions as my "true" inbox for virtually all incoming email.)
FWIW: Windows 10 (latest rev) on MS Surface Pro.

You will need to recreate them. Rename VirtualFolders.dat in your thunderbird profile.
Thanks, Wayne! 1. Why in the world wasn't this documented, even by a week after the release? 2. Is the problem understood? A quick check shows that the old and new VirtualFolders.dat files (which are both text, and rather short) are extremely similar -- enough that surely at least a meaningful error message would have been feasible about whatever the incompatibility is.

Because it is an uncommon problem, and we don't flag uncommon problems.

No, it is not well understood. Which is one reason why no additional corrective work has been possible.
