Sounds like you're looking in Program Files. Your personal data is not 
there; it's in your profile folder in the location i explained in the 
Firefox or Thunderbird profiles (or perhaps in a separate calendar 
profile, check to see the documentation). According to what you wrote, 
you probably now have an old calendar profile in your Thunderbird 
profile and in perhaps already two or more different Firefox profiles 
that you inadvertently created.

You don't need the path for the program; you need the path to its data 
which is stored in the Firefox profile at the location i explained.

Sorry if it sounded like i was accusing you of something. I was simply 
pointing out that you've had the same problems before when you were 
trying to do the same thing, using an out-of-date extension in a program 
version that no longer supported it. It was my suggestion to switch to 
using it in Firefox, but i pointed out already back then that it was 
only a workaround and that the best thing would be to get the new 
supported versions of your out-of-date calendar, now called either 
Sunbird or Lightning.

The current version of Firefox makes bookmark backups automatically. It 
could be that your extension stops working in the current Firefox 
version because it may be incompatible (and unnecessary).

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
