Tasks disappeared on installing Provider
I recently installed Provider; then found that my tasks list had disappeared from my Tasks tab.
The most urgent issue for me right now is recovering that task list rather than fixing the problem. I have my entire computer backed up to an external hard drive, so presumably the Tasks are backed up somewhere there.
I'm using a Mac OS 10.9 and am looking in /Library/Thunderbird/Profiles for the backed up tasks but don't see anything there. Am I looking in the wrong place? And, assuming I find the Tasks, can I retrieve as a plain text file?
Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks, iamjayakumars.
I've had "Lightning Calendar" installed for years now, and have never had a problem opening the Tasks tab.
The problem is that the task list that was in the Tasks tab until last week has now disappeared.
Retrieving my task list is at the moment a more urgent priority than figuring out what went wrong. Can I restore/retrieve that list from a backup?
Ya, you can. if its saved in Thunderbird local not in mail server
Yes, it's on my local hard drive (or, at least, on my backup drive). Can you tell me where I'll find it? The obvious guess is that it's in /Library/Thunderbird/Profiles but I see no file name there that looks promising nor would I know how to restore it to my Tasks tab.
If you can restore the entire profile, Profile Folder location
- /Library/Thunderbird/Profile/xxx.default/
Or try the which file you need to restore
- /Library/Thunderbird/xxx.default/calendar-data/local.sqlite
- /Library/Thunderbird/xxx.default/prefs.js
