Quick filter arguments persist through restart

ffm1 replied

One particular quick filter search now persists through restart. The quick search arguments are "Claire" and "sender." I exit Thunderbird, start it, and the same search is there. I change the search to "hair," quit, and restart ... and "Claire" is still there. I "x" the current search ... still there. I close quick filter, exit, ... still there.

Any suggestions? (Using ver. 91.5.1 (32-bit))

This has been fixed before by this step: Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, delete session.json.

That worked. Thank you.
