Thunderbird refuses to load my profile.
Hello,
For no obvious reason, TB 31.1.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 refuses to load my profile on startup. Instead, it invites me to create a new account. No folders or accounts are loaded.
My ~/.thunderbird/profile.ini folder shows:
[General] StartWithLastProfile=0
[Profile0] Name=Default User IsRelative=1 Path=glvz4zpg.default Default=1
The glvz4zpg.default folder is located under ~/.thunderbird and contains all mail and account details.
I have used from the command line thunderbird -profilemanager and played around with new accounts and suchlike without success.
However, it does load my address book and extensions (e.g. Send later). For whatever reason no folders or accounts are created.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Maybe this will help.

You are my hero.
The link worked. My problem was that prefs.js had been corrupted.
Thankfully, I had backed up TB a few months ago so just used that prefs.js.
Great!
