I was under the impression that Betterbird (115.9.0-bb26 64-bit) uses
the same profile as Thunderbird, ever since TB version 102.x.

My usual quick way of synchronising my messages on my Desktop (Win 10
Home, TB 115.10.0 64-bit ) and my laptop (Win 7 Pro, using Betterbird)
is to copy the TB profile from the desktop and paste it into the Laptop
TB Profile folder.

When I did this today, it did not work.

I noticed a second funny looking profile on the laptop :
<ay1dyhcy.default-default> which is *different* to my standard
<file>.default Thunderbird profile.

Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks

Open Menu->help->troubleshooting info, and open your profile folder.
Is that the same ayldychy.default? Did TB load with different add-ons/settings?

Occasionally with both FF and TB I find if there is an issue with the profile of a certain nature,
it creates a new profile. It's normally after I've edited a prefs.js file and screwed up. <grin>

If not, then I have no other input.

Thanks Al. I went to profiles via troubleshooting info. I did not
realise my default profile had been reset to this
<ay1dyhcy.default-default>. I pointed it to my old <TB-profile>.default.
All is back to normal.

Thanks.
