My mistake then.You need to tell find(1) where to start searching via the "starting-point" argument This incantation makes it explicit that find(1) should search the ".thunderbird" subdirectory in your home directory:
2024-01-14 16:56:50 dpchrist@laalaa ~ $ find $HOME/.thunderbird -iname '*filter*' /home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/Mail/Local Folders/msgFilterRules.dat /home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-3.net/msgFilterRules.dat /home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-2.net/msgFilterRules.dat /home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-1.net/msgFilterRules.dat /home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he.net/msgFilterRules.dat Once you have found the files, you can look inside for the bug.
