I copied my Thunderbird profile to a tape drive, went to troubleshooting, profile, open folder and pasted my .map files which were abook-1.map, abook-2.map through abook-10. Restarted Thunderbird and files did not convert to .sqlite. How do I proceed to restore addresses?

Have you tried the addressbook import of MAB files?
