I'd like to back up my address book to an .ldif file.

When I click on Tools in Address Book, the menu includes Export. When I click on that, nothing happens---no drop-down box----nada. I am on Version 60.6.1.

Chosen solution

In Address Book, enable the Directory Pane under View/Layout. Press Alt if the Menu Bar is hidden.

Did you select All Address Books or another address book? You can't export All Address Books since it's essentially a search result, not a defined address book.

Thank you; much of T'bird is not intuitive, and this is one such thing.
