For reasons that will likely never be known Thunderbird stopped yesterday. Clicking on the icon showed the spinning icon for a second or two and then ended without the application starting. It had been running flawlessly for several years.

I checked with task manager, nothing from Thunderbird. I restarted. Same problem.

So, I found and installed the beta version which is working fine but I've lost my address book and message filters.

I can re-create the filters easily, but would prefer not to have to re-create the addresses. Is there a way to find the old address book(s) and use them?

Thanks -dmd-

My suggestion: You are using the test version, not the production release. For regular use, I recommend the production version. I suggest uninstalling the beta and installing the production version of 102. Then, when starting it, click the Home tab and then notice the IMPORT button that lets you import your old profile. Unless the profile itself became corrupted, it should import your accounts, messages, addressbook and filters.
