I've done this several times and it works The profile manager works well. A modification of the profile manager approach is this:  - exit thunderbird - make a copy of the profile - install thunderbird on linux, start and then exit - copy the windows profile and paste over the top of the active linux profile and you're done. Do this when thunderbird not running.  </p><p>If unsure how to find profile location, these steps work on windows and linux:  - click help&gt;troubleshootinginformation - scroll to 'profile folder' and click 'open folder' - exit thunderbird and you will be in the profile </p>",davidsk,false,0,0

I copied the windows profile directory contents onto  a USB stick ( not a zip file) and then deleted the default profile contents under the folder on my other computer running the Linux Thunderbird, without changing the name of the default directory. Then restarted Thunderbird in Linux and worked like a charm.  Much appreciated for the newbie on day 1 of the Ubuntu Linux training. Lots more learning.  Most grateful for your help.

They said ""Thunderbird itself checks the compatiblity on add-on installation at AMO, where the add-on version 10.0.8 is marked as compatible up to 144 at the moment."" I don't understand what the ""AMO"" term means. The developer sent me a modified version of their update, but closed the issue with ""Not an Add-on Issue. Compatibility check on AMO failed."" </p><p>It looks like the same problem is happening again. Can you please tell me if this is a problem with Thunderbird checking, or is it with the add-on?
