You were using 78.6.0 prior to 78.6.1? (to check, see help > troubleshooting > show update history)
This is Barry again. In answer to the question "Where is that address book located," -- The address book is located in C:Users\Barry\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles. The address book is there as abook.sqlite and history.sqlite. It's in the profile that Thunderbird is using, but it won't recognize the address book. I have tried every suggestion online that I could find, and none of them work.

Prior to Thunderbird 78 the address book was in abook.mab - there is probably an abook.mab.bak file in the profile.
Probably something went wrong in the format conversion. (In Thunderbird beta, there's an option to import .mab based address books)

Barry, did you sort this out? Any clues to what caused this?
