Running OSX 10.6.8 First I followed this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles > To enable the Profile Manager: 

   Open the Terminal application, then type "/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -ProfileManager" and press Return.

> and got No Such File or Directory.


So I re-wrote the path to match my setup and get Command Not Found:

Macintosh HD/Applications/Thunderbird31-8-0.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -ProfileManager

Launch Terminal ("Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal") enter the command starting with / after the prompt in Terminal: Note there is a space before -profilemanager 

/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -profilemanager

or try without the -bin: 

/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird -profilemanager
