After Windows 10 system restore, Thunderbird won't start, error: Couldn't load XPCOM.
I have Thunderbird and Firefox running, but after a Windows 10 system restore, Thunderbird failed to start. I get an error message: Couldn't load XPCOM. The address book won't open either. Firefox is unaffected and runs fine. Following the advice found from an Internet search, I updated Firefox to the latest version, but that didn't fix Thunderbird. I don't know what version of Thunderbird I am running, but I upgraded two days ago (before the system restore), so I should have the latest version of Thunderbird installed.

Download the installer and run it. https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/
Reinstalling deleted two of my six email accounts, but fixed the problem. Does anybody have a better solution that doesn't delete mail accounts in the process?

Since you provided no further details I'm not going to speculate what may have happened. In any case, re-installing did not delete your accounts.
After reinstallation of Thunderbird, two of my email accounts were no longer present. I don't care if you f*ing call that deleted or not, THEY'RE NOT THERE.

Don't use windows system restore. It does more damage than it fixes. Get a real backup solution if your prone to getting viruses, or defective Windows updates.
Consider this also a warning. You abuse if a volunteer and your uncalled for religious assumptions are neither welcome, not will they be tolerated. SO to illustrate that I have edited you post to remove the totally inappropriate comments. Repeat such things and I will ban you permanently.

Interesting, but like Chist1, I am doubtful that a reinstall had anything at all to do with the issue. Defective Windows updates, anti virus programs, or a bad hard disk are all far more likely. If ALL you account were missing perhaps, but for a small but specific section of a text file to be excised is simply almost unbelievable. Regardless of what your eyes are telling you.
