Restore FireFox
I was forced to erase my PC because it was infected with malware. I saved my Tbird profile to my HDD before erasing. I pasted the saved profile to %Appdata% >Thunderbird, copying 1,777 items. When I brought up Tbird, I got the Account Setup window, so I don't think the profile was actually there. What did I do wrong?

Did you save the ....appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder? or the profile folder? was this done when thunderbird was running? Explicit details will be useful.
David - You’ve helped me before. Good to have your help again. I saved the %appdata% folder on my HDD per a note I had from you on 13 July. I was very careful to make sure Tbird wasn't running. Even used Task Manager to check. But I must have done something wrong.
Try this: - do screenshots of the appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder and also of the appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles folder and send the name of the profile that you saved there. That will help me locate it and suggest next steps.
David - It took me a while to figure out how to do this. Pardon my ignorance! And sorry for the delay! Here are:
Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles Profile saved on my HDD as Thunderbird in folder Thunderbird Profile 7-15-25
BTW, I don't know why I started this thread under the name "Restore Firefox" when I meant Restore Thunderbird!
