Dear folks,


I just upgraded from 13.3 to 14.2. Maybe I missed the memo; but moving home directories from /usr/home back to /home broke Thunderbird, it couldn't find my folders.


(When I say 'upgrade', I mean 'install an up-to-date version of FreeBSD on a different laptop, install up-to-date applications, rsync my home directory to the new install, then make the jump'. Not freebsd-update(8).)


The fix is to edit these two text files:


/home/LOGIN/.thunderbird/????????.default/folderCache.json

/home/LOGIN/.thunderbird/????????.default/prefs.js


... where '????????' represents 8 Thunderbird-assigned-at-the-time-of-account-creation random ASCII characters that seem to represent a unique ID.


If you've done this a few times your files may be quite old and contain references to accounts that you no longer use but a global search-and-replace should not damage these definitions either as if they still exist their paths will need to be updated as well, and if the folders no longer exist then you may safely engage in some housekeeping and delete those other lines.


Here's hoping it helps those of us with not much hair to spare to avoid ripping out what is left, in frustration, after an upgrade.


The output from 'pkg add -y thunderbird' is pretty sparse - less then ten lines. Not complaining but that might be a good place to put hints for administrators overseeing the upgrade - it's not done until the users can read and write email.


'thunderbird --help' refers to something called a "Migration Manager" but I could find no documentation on this from the command line; Thunderbird has no online UNIX manual page, alas.


You may also find Chromium to be uncooperative; if it was running when you did your rsync, then you will have to remove the following file before it will start on the new machine:


% rm -f .config/chromium/SingletonLock


You may as well remove them all:


% rm -f .config/chromium/Singleton*


You might even want to do this:


% rm -f .config/*/Singleton*


... that will fix Iridium and ungoogled-chromium, too.
