I seemed to have lost my Address Book entries. I have tried to locate a populated abook.mab / history.mab.
I have checked the C: and backup drives on my desktop PC. Maybe I am looking in the wrong directory/folder.
I had to reinstall Windows 10 for an unrelated issue.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I fear I may be doomed.

Re: Address Book Recovery
If you know those file names you probably also know the location of the Thunderbird profile folder but here it is, just in case -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

Re: Address Book Recovery
The MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on at https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html can be used to import an address book (*.mab file) as is if you don't want to copy abook.mab or history.mab over the existing address books due to your adding some contacts to the new address books.
