My biggest problem with Linux is, it just works. Forever. Until it doesn't. I usually live in the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" world. So, I'm not big on updating things. By the time I do, I've pretty much forgotten all that came before.
I've been running Linux Mint on my main desktop since 2017. I finally had too many things that wouldn't update any more (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) and sites kept giving me grief about it. I finally decided to upgrade, so I got a new 500GB drive, put it in the box, and loaded fresh Mint 22 (Wilma?) Now trying to recover things. I had copies of my profiles for Firefox and Thunderbird. Per some guidance I found on the web, I copied the files from the old profiles to the new profiles and all appeared to be good. Got all my bookmarks, passwords, email, etc. One thing I did lose is my address books in Thunderbird. Unfortunately, I do not know what version was running on the old machine. The new machine is running V125.5.0. Any hints on how I can recover my old address books? Thanks, Michael
