I have my Thunderbird profile on a NAS. On each device the profile.ini default points to the NAS profile. The result is that I have the same profile running on each device and each device has the same access to the emails, folders, etc. That's what I want. (I can't run the profile concurrently on 2 devices, but I can manage that.)
The problem is that every time Thunderbird updates, it creates a new default profile. I then have to edit the profile.ini on each device to get back to having the NAS profile being the default profile on each device. It has taken me a while to figure this out and figure out what to do, and it often is needed at an inconvenient time. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to get this working right, i.e., like it did before the update.
There may be some good reason to wipe the profiles clean with each upgrade, but I would appreciate having the choice to keep my current profiles in place.
Is there a better solution?
Thanks.
