Hey all,
CentOS 6 has Thunderbird 68.8.0
CentOS 8 has Thunderbird 68.7.0
When I rsync my .thunderbird folder from my CentOS 6 machine to my
CentOS 8 machine and start Thunderbird it says:
"A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your
profile which are no longer compatible with this older version.
Use this profile only with that newer version, or create a new profile
for this installation of Thunderbird. Creating a new profile requires
setting up your accounts, calendars and add-ons again."
I think I encountered the same thing when trying to go from CentOS 7 to
CentOS 8.
I'm pretty sure I ended up invoking thunderbird manually with the
--allow-downgrade option. After it was satisfied with my copied
profile, it would then subsequently run OK with a normal invocation
(using the desktop icon, etc.)

Thanks Greg,
I'm copying a nice clean .thunderbird folder from CentOS 6 to CentOS 8
with rsync in a few minutes, as soon as I'm done playing with my mail
here. I'll try your suggestion. I'll let you know what happens.
