Unclear. Did you reinstall TB? What is "the local"?

The hard disk crashed and after reinstall every program including Thunderbird, I could not locate the previous Thunderbird email pathway, even searched the extension of .msf but no such file in the hard disk. Just want to seek help from the team. PS I used Thunderbird for a long time since Netscape, and every time when I install a new hard disk, I just copy the whole database, but this time could not locate the database before crash.

On the crashed drive, which OS was it and where did you install TB from?

WIN 11, I let the program by default to install, I think should be in the program, I didn't pick up the pathway to install.
