Moving Thunderbird Profile to New Computer

February 27, 2008 by debbie T | Firefox Browser • Mac Software • Thunderbird Email

For some reason, the last time I moved my Thunderbird profile, it didn’t work very well.

Firefox is very easy to move; I just drag the whole Firefox folder from my back up to the Library folder in Finder (Mac OS X). Thunderbird used to work that way as well.

I found this article explaining the proper way to move a profile: Moving your profile folder

Make sure to also check out the article on how to start the profile manager too: Accessing the Profile Manager
