Include Thunderbird in FF "Backup Assistant" (maybe?)

[linoc]

Hi, been using FF & TB for 15+ years. Last I checked Backup Assistant wasn't a thing, just discovered & used, surprised TB not included as an option, vs the old profile copy/paste. Guess there's a reason for it, as you guys are much smarter than me with this stuff, would have thought of it, but just-in... Cheers!

I loved and still use the MozBackup app for backing up Thunderbird profiles. It is particularly handy for backing up settings and address book only, especially for IMAP accounts. This would be great if it was built into Thunderbird.
