We have an old installation of Thunderbird on a drive that is no longer bootable. We installed Thunderbird on a new drive and successfully moved the abook.mab file to the new installation. We still have abook-1.mab (plus -2, -3, & -4) we would like to bring over. Is that possible? Thanks, Mike

Open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor and double-click the preference extensions.strictCompatibility to toggle it to false, OK to close Options. You should now be able to install the add-on in TB 60 (working here).

Install MoreFunctionsForAddressBook, then in Address Book, Tools/MFFAB/Actions for addressbooks/Import addressbook from mab file.

To install, drag this link and drop it onto Tools/Add-ons/Extensions in TB.

MoreFunctionsForAddressBook supports TB versions through 59 and we have 60. Any ideas other than removing this version and finding an earlier one? Thanks, Mike

It worked. Thank you (it makes my wife happy so it makes me happy). Mike
