User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have created 25 Adress Books to sort all my contacts.
In order to transfer them to another TB installation I have to export them individually step-by-step.
This is very tedious and unnecessary.

TB should offer an "Export ALL Address Books into ONE (csv/mab/vcf) file" menu/function.

Moreover I see no reason why each Address Book must be stored into its own abook-X.mab file

Why not storing them altogether in abook.mab?

This way users could copy just the *.mab file to the other TB installation.

Actual results:

See above

Expected results:

See above

Severity: normal → S3

It is possible with current versions to import multiple address books directly from another profile via "Import from another Thunderbird installation".
