Display of folders in folder pane has vanished after MS restart

I'm running Tbird 38.4.0 under Windows 7. Last night MS downloaded what they thought was an important update and restarted my computer for me, closing a running Tbird. This morning when I restarted Tbird the right half of the screen has a general display pane showing Email, Accounts, and Advanced Features, while the left half -- where I'm used to seeing a folder pane showing all my folders -- is blank. What do I need to change to see my folders? (This happened once before, and something I changed made the folder pane contents reappear, but I don't remember what.) - Bill Fisher

Just found 1 fix. Exited TBird, restarted it, and folder pane appears on left side, with all folders showing. - Bill F.
