If I have two active Thunderbird for Windows installations on two computers and they are IMAPped to the same Gmail account, is there a way for the newer installation to learn all the "Allow Content" history from the old installation?

If I have two active Thunderbird for Windows installations on two computers and they are IMAPped to the same Gmail account, is there a way for the newer installation to learn all the "Allow Content" history from the old installation? (e.g., is there a file somewhere in my older installation that I can copy to the new one that contains all the Allow Content decisions I've made over many years, to copy to the new installation that I just set up last week. Why? So I can avoid having to train the new installation for many months.

You could migrate the whole Thunderbird profile from the old pc to the new one. See Profiles - Where Thunderbird stores your messages and other user data
