Hi: I had the newest Update of Thunderbird Ver 52.7.0 installed in my PC running Windows 7 - Home Premium and was shocked that during this Update installation my foreign language Dictionary (Czech) installed in Thunderbird before this automatic-updating has disappeared. This is a very serious Software flaw because I was using this Dictionary for many years, and during several years I've added many unique foreign language words & terms and it is therefore very important for my correspondence with people abroad. My critical questions are:

1) does Thunderbird keeps a back up-copy of such an important part of this Software somewhere in the Thunderbird installation Directory so that I could recover/re-install it? 2) What are the specific step-by-step guidelines to install any additional Dictionary into Thunderbird? I've spent MANY HOURS trying to install a new copy of the Czech Language Add-On following the suggested procedure but it does NOT work - have anyone from the Programmers checked if this installation procedure actually works? An earlier advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you can't install by drag and drop, right-click the Download Now button, Save Link As..., and download the xpi file. In Tools/Add-ons/Dictionaries in TB, click the gear icon next to the Search box, Install Add-on from File..., select the xpi file. See the attached picture.

This did NOT resolve the problem because of the following:

- could NOT drag the green icon 'download now' to Options/Add-On selection button - followed the Editor.config option in Thunderbird but the extensions.strictCompatibility was already set at 'false' option, but I finished the step by pressing OK-key to close the Tools section. RESULT: the selected Czech Directory was NOT installed...! So - please mark this as UNRESOLVED issue and what should I do now...?!?

sfhowes:

EXCELLENT - you are the winner...many thanks! Your last advice was the correct one - finally it works...! 

 Could you also confirm to me if my original Dictionary-file which has disappeared after last Thunderbird Software update installation has been automatically restored?  And can you clarify to me why it disappeared after the Update installment, please - I'd like to avoid such an unexpected problem in the future...

Many thanks.

One more question regarding the persdict.dat file:

- as you've suggested it should be in PROFILE Directory BUT - could you specify the EXACT FOLDER where I can find the MOST UPDATED version of the persdict.dat file, please? I've spent a long time trying to find it to make a copy of it but I could NOT find its EXACT LOCATION... ! Thanks.
