Thunderbird set up
Hi folks
When I tried to start up Thunderbird this evening, it has taken me to a set-up page. I seem to have lost all the settings, all my previous (about 3000 !) e-mails in my Inbox.
I obviously don't really want to set it all up again, but it has been working for years without a problem, and then suddenly this happens. I had now a 'warning' message saying that Mozilla Thunderbird wants to make changes to your computer - do you accept? I don't want it to make any changes unless it is to revert back to how it was.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Looking in my T’bird folder from the backup (obviously the same as on the PC),
I have the prefs.js file dated today 19/03/2026
I also have prefs-1.js date modified 28/03/2020 (wonder what I was doing at 13:06 that day?!) - I have many other prefs files up to 96. Most of which have 0 bytes.
What do I exactly replace and with what?
