Thunderbird address book recovery

[Mark LaPierre]

Hey Y'all,

Thunderbird 3.1.10

Linux mushroom.patch 2.6.35.12-90.fc14.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Apr 22 
16:08:03 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

When I started Thunderbird tonight it reported that my abook.mab file 
was corrupted and that it was making a backup copy.  That it did.

No, how do I recover my address information from the backup file?
