Problems after crash/sudden shutdown. [Solved.]
It must be a profile problem but the Mozilla instruction are very confusing & seem to put me in a loop. I have top restore using a recent backup by Mozbackup to correct the page which keeps wanting to re-download the current Firefox. Tell me the quickest method even if an old *.bat File is used. Desperately HELP?
Win 10 Pro desktop, but now 64-bit latest Windows 10. Usually latest or latest-1 Thunderbird on this machines.

its files is ZIP, so rename it to ZIP and extract this content to a fresh profile:MozBackup is not being developed anymore. There are known issues and there is no time on my side to fix all issues and develop new features. Use MozBackup only on your risk. Thanks for understanding.

Folks all you won't believe it: All I did was get the latest Firefox setup (same as before installed); reinstall over top of it; Restart Windows & here I am, closing the question
