The profile with the earliest date is empty. (Remember this is a new 
installation that is less that a week old,so an old installation may 
have some folders.)

The other profile is dated with the date that I last opened TB.  It 
contains three folders

cache2 contains a folder "Entries"  with several folders with random 
character names.

safebrowsing  contains one folder "google4" which is empty

startupCache contains two files startupCache.8.little and webext.sc.lz4

Remember these are from a new installation, and may differ in an old 
installation.

Hope this helps.
