Can you tell me how to get to this file please
/.thunderbird/<Profile name>/
It's been a long time since I used Linux, I'm trying to reload my Thunderbird profile and I've forgotten how to get around the filing system.
Thanks

If you want to access your personal thunderbird profile, it is found in ~/.mozilla/thunderbird/<Profile_name>, NOT in /.thunderbird or ~/.thunderbird.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

The dot in front of the folder name means that it's a hidden folder/file, so you'll need to set your file manager to show hidden files before you can see it.
Should you wish to use the command line, you can use the ls command to list your folders and files:
...the inclusion of the -a should list all folders/files including the hidden ones.Code:ls -a
