When I click on the abook.mab folder I am asked with which program this opening should be done? What should I do?

Thunderbird 78 converted address books from the mab file format to an sqlite database. I am not aware of a "procedure" for importing old MAB files (given Thunderbird never could import it's own address books)

Thank you Matt. I copied the old profile file and pasted (overwrote the old profile) it to the new Thunderbird. This way I have my old setting and also the old address books.
