Help menu (alt+H) > troubleshooting information Press the show folder button under profiles. Windows explorer is not in your profile folder.

As the location contains a random string it is impossible to say exactly where a profile is, But this method asked Thunderbird to tell you.

Needless to say it will default to a location below the Thunderbird folder is appdata. Appdata is a special application data folder provided by windows and hidden by default. The is a setting in windows to show hidden files and folders.
