How can I import an address book from a backup profile of another thunderbird installation

I have a backup file from another thunderbird installation. The profile in this backup contains a file named abook.mab. I suppose this is the address book. I would like to copy the addresses from this installation to my current thunderbird 147.0.1 (64-bit). Tools > import > address book does not work. Can you please advise me?

abook.mab was the addressbook prior to release 78. The current addressbook is abook.sqlite -
