Today I moved my data from my old laptop using FreeBSD 13 to a new one with a fresh FreeBSD 14 install.
I did a rsync of my home and surprisingly, when I start TB, it was unable to find any of my inboxes, and doesn't report any issuer.
After a couple of minutes digging around I figure out that TB store some location as absolute paths, and since home location changes from FBSD 13 and 14 from /usr/home to /home, TB is lost.
To fix this issue stop TB and go to your profile directory, is the usually is the "<random chars>.default" under ~/.thunderbird or just look into your ~/.thunderbird/profiles.ini and run the command bellow:
Now restart TB and ....tada.
