Earlier I complained my bookmarks weren’t where I expected after upgrading Firefox. Well, my Thunderbird client also upgraded and after restarting, it asked me to setup my email accounts. That freaked me out. I didn’t want to lose all my email.
After some investigating, my profile was still alright. For some reason, Thunderbird wanted to create new accounts and not use the ones I already had setup. I was able to change the local directory to where my old archives were in account settings. Profile restored. I have since added my email profile to my backup plan. Why is wasn’t there before I have no idea.
Why is this happening to these Mozilla products? I love using them. If this continues I would prefer performing the upgrades myself instead of it happening automatically. That way I can decide when I want the inconvenience.
Has it happened to others out there?

yes. this has happend to me to. How did you fix this.
this really sucks, if this will start happening often I will be forced to use Outlook again……
Before I upgraded it, I backed up the data. So I ended up restoring the backup. Since then I have moved to gmail only. I like it a lot since I can access it on any computer or device.
Don’t suppose it could be an extension or theme doing this, before it happened to me, thunderbird was updating some of em??

yes it happens every single time I upgrade thunderbird. And, nothing I try restores anything.
