Looks like a lot has *improved* in this area :-))

- Retested on 91.0b6 (32-bit), Win10.
- Existing beta6 and other installations.
- Installed another instance of 91.0b6 in a different folder.

Actual result:
- The main problem of this bug and the associated error messages are gone: Ignoring/closing the `Account Setup` tab and then using the `Email` button of Account Central on a virgin (2nd instance) profile no longer fails to switch to or re-open `Account Setup` tab. So we can close this WFM.
- I am no longer seeing the "Important News - ...new profile" alert (see bug 1695719): "This installation of {Thunderbird/Daily/...} has a new profile...". Can someone confirm that this alert has been removed (rather than just reworded)?
- However, I'm still seeing a couple of error messages before even doing anything (incl. `Can't find profile directory`) - filed as bug 1723981.
- Nit: Something wrong when you decide to close the `Account Setup` tab for the first time on a virgin install´- filed as bug 1723973.
