On my Mac Book: Tried to move my profile xxxxxx.default and now Thunderbird does not pull up any of my folders nor messages. The attached screen shots shows how it looks now. I cannot even go back to where the old profile was stored because TB now says it is not an allowed location. I had moved the profile to my Dosuments folder several yeasr ago, and it worked fine until yesterday when I tried putting it back in the TB library folder as shown below.

Well I tried uploading screen shots... but the site just sits there spinning the little wheel.

Try again. It often seems to stick on a first posting.

I originally moved the profile to Documents so as to have them backed up by Carbonite. Now I use the Apple iCloud; so I thought I'd move the mail back to the TB proper location. I will try uploading those screen shots again now.
