Thunderbird filter backup
Why won't you provide an option to backup filters? This has been requested for years. It is so annoying to have to go searching for where they are installed and also get them back when migrating to another computer.

It is recommended to backup the entire Thunderbird profile. That will include the filter settings. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_backing-up-a-profile
When migrating to another computer you'd simply restore the backed up profile there. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_restoring-a-profile-backup
So why not simply add a button to perform the backup? How many standard users will be able to find the (correct) folder and action the correct command to place it in an appropriate place?

That addon offers a complete backup in it's options.
