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.
