Missing Key3.DB file in profile folder
Thunderbird absolutely refuse to remember my password. When i install Thunderbird 78.11.0 and start it the first prompt ask me for my password and then i check the box remember password and when i click OK i get a new prompt to enter my master password. I didn't set a master password. So i don't get my emails. I read that if you delete Key3.DB in the profile folder it will reset the remember password. The problem is that there is no Key3.DB file there. I can see only Key4.DB file . So what is the solution? Thanks for any help.
Chosen solution
Close TB, delete key4.db, logins.json and cert9.db, then restart TB.

Hello.
Thank you for your reply. Your answer solved the problem. I had 18 messages that finally downloaded. Hoping it remains like this.
