Bug Description

Upgraded to gutsy from feisty via the upgrade manager. After full upgrade thunderbird could not find my previous profile. found that upgrade had placed new folder in home folder. Name of new folder was ".thunderbird". Old profile was in existing folder called ".mozilla-thunderbird" Simply removing profile in ".thunderbird" folder installed under upgrade and replacing the previous existing profile found in ".mozilla-thunderbird" reestablished SMTP and POP operation. Unfortunately no association with web browser is possible. Cannot get Firefox to respond to call from imbedded URL in mail.
