User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20171024165158

Steps to reproduce:

Favor or add a contact.


Actual results:

By default, save/favored/starred addresses appear in the personal address box rather than the collected addresses as in previous versions.

This is with TB 60 (32-bit) with no add-ons.


Expected results:

Addresses should go into "collected Addresses".

I don't believe that is correct - personal is the default  for manual creation of new contacts

Collected is used only when the option is enabled for OUTGOING MESSAGES in tools > options > composition > addressing

I'm not sure you understand what I wrote. When you manually add outside of the address book. i.e. I click the star or right click your email and select "add to address book" it goes to personal addresses rather than collected addresses as it did in older versions. Why would I want [e-mail] in my personal address book, which is only added to avoid having to allow the showing of content to begin with.

If you'd like I can record the process on video and show you, if you're having trouble replicating.
