On new laptop:
You have already opened Thunderbird. Close it.
Open your Home folder, click on View.
Click on Show Hidden Files.
Click on the .thunderbird folder and paste the ********.default folder into it.
Next, open the profiles.ini file and you will see a different default file (xxxxxxxx.default).
