I saved some email lists in csv format and have placed some of them on my Desktop to Import into TB 60 but the Import function can't seem to find them. Why?

Did you follow this sequence: Tools/Import, select Address books, select Text file, select Comma Separated in the box that shows LDIF, select the csv file? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_address_list_from_text_file

In Ubuntu 18.04, new install, following your sequence I get to text file, select it, and am taken directly to the page to select a source directory -- no chance to differentiate cvs from other types of text files. So regardless of where I tell it to look, no files are shown. Is this a Linux thing?

Yes I followed just the sequence above except I forgot to select .csv. Now all is fine. Thank you for your help.
