Was that a zipped profile? If so, I suggest you try unzipping it and the manually restoring it. Try these steps:
- unzip the profile
- exit thunderbird, if running
- enter %appdata% into the search box on task bar in windows and press enter
- this should take you to the appdata folder
- click the thunderbird folder and then the profiles folder
- paste your profile into the profiles folder - note the profile name as you will need it later
- start thunderbird and click help>troubleshootinginformation
- scroll down to "profiles' in left column and click 'about:profiles'
- click 'create profile' button in upper left
- click next
- enter shortname for profile, such as MYPROFILE and then click 'choose' button to locate and select your profile'
- click finish and launch the profile
