Thunderbird all of the sudden does not "see" my address book
As of this morning, Thunderbird does not see my address book. i realized that addresses are not auto-completed as I type. When I open Address Book from within Thunderbird, there are no subdirectories for Local Addresses and Collected Addresses. View->Layout->Directory Pane is checked.
Looking at my profile folder, there are history.mab and abook.mab files dated several days ago. There are no *.mab.bak files in the profile folder, so I guess these are not corrupted.
When I press F9 while in Write window, address book pops up empty as well.
I can create a new address book with a dummy contact, and it is displayed. I see in the profile folder abook-1.mab file has been created. But still abook.mab and history.mab are not dipslayed.
I use Thunderbird 68.10.0 Please advise, any help is highly appreciated.

Open the mab files in a text editor like Notepad and check if your addresses are inside.
I can open the .mab files, and I can see the addresses are there. Here is the beginning of history.mab // < <(a=c)> // (f=iso-8859-1)

I am not sure about its end though, it is cryptic:

It is somewhat cryptc, but I believe it should be like that
