Hello friends, this is the first time I visit the Mozilla Community so I'm nice to meet you all.

I have a Google Data backup downloaded on a folder in my PC. I have also unzipped it and optained some mbox files. So I have installed the last version of TB and asked to install the Import/Export Tool extension, but seems that it's not compatible with TB91. My questions are: how to recover the mbox files securely? Is there in TB91 a tool to do this without the import/export add on?

Lot of thanks, Emiliano

Gekose oplossing

Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, copy the mbox files into Mail/Local Folders, remove the .mbox extensions, restart TB, find the folders under Local Folders in the Folder Pane.

Thanks for your concise support. It is not a handy way to solve the problem, but it's the only one available, right?

It's the only way I'm aware of, and it eliminates issues with figuring out how to install and apply an add-on.
