Open Profile folder/directory in Linux Zorin.

Thunderbird Import and export settings

I want to copy my windows Thunderbird profile to Linux but my Profile Directory will not open when I press open directory. I downloaded Thunderbird from the Zorin app store, and it may be a flatpak or something – it won’t tell me now because I have already installed it – but I believe that could be a reason for the directory not opening. Is there a non-PC-literate way of finding out and fixing this?

I can't see how to navigate back to the "~/.var/app, etc" folder.

Can you follow the animation? It shows doing it.

The file chooser will open in your Home folder. From there open the ".var" folder, then "app", then "org.mozilla.thunderbird", then ".thunderbird". You will now be in the profiles folder where you will find your profile to be selected.
