On a Mac the Thunderbird settings shows the profile to be under "user", library, thunderbird, profile. This path does not exist on newer versions of OS X. there is no library file in the "user" directory. There is no "thunderbird" file in the larger "library" directory, or in "library" in the Systems directory. Where is the Thuderbird profile folder on OS X 8 or 9?
