Changed folder icon in Thunderbird 60.9.1

[Martin Leist]

On my Thunderbird Portable 60.9.1 32bit  on Windows 10 Home 64 bit, one of my main folder icons has changed from a standard "folder" icon (Yellow tab) to one like that of  "Sent" or "Trash" (blue square). The sub-folders have the correct icon.

If I did this, it was by accident, but I'd like to put it back to a standard folder icon. I haven't found any hits on changing the icons.

Only extensions I have are "Folder Account", "Manually Sort Folders" and "Toggle Headers".

Any help appreciated.

I would first see if the icon reverts to yellow when Folder Account and Manually sort folders are disabled, or in safe mode. If not, it's possible the folder became identified as a Sent or Trash folder, which you might be able to correct with FolderFlags:

Go to Help >> Restart with Add-Ons Disabled

Then see if all the icons are as they should.  If they are then you know that it is one of those Add-Ons that is the main culprit as is usually the case.

I assumed that this is only in Thunderbird that the icons are changed and not in Windows wide folder properties.  If it is Windows Wide then there is another solution but for that you'll need to go to Windows 10 newsgroup or Mozilla.General.
