What do you mean by 'profile lost in version 68.2.1 (32-bit) ' ?

Did you auto update ? If yes, what was old version ? Was it 'windows32bit 68.2.0'

Did you manually uninstall and then download and install 68.2.1 ?

Have you tried the following: Exit Thunderbird. Launch the Profile Manager. enter the following in the Windows 'Run' box If using Windows OS 32 bit:

• "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -P

If using Windows OS 64 bit:

• "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -P

select correct profile Select 'Use the selected profile without asking at start up' click on Start Thunderbird.

Thank you for your reply! I allowed an automatic update but lost the option to export my profile. I previously used the Windows 10 Pro, version 68.2.0, 32-bit.) I haven’t tried uninstall/install because everything else works fine but I’m missing the Tools tab option to export my profile. I know I can always just backup the profile, but I’m used to simply exporting it directly to my backup drive.! Again, thank you for your swift response!

Sounds like you were previously using an addon perhaps 'ImportExportTools'

Did you update to use : https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/

Works again, THANK YOU!!!!!!
