Transfer of Firefox and Thunderbird data

[Karl Larsen]

    Hello and my name is Karl Larsen and I am just changing from Fedora 
to Ubuntu Linux. The setup of Ubuntu was simple and getting a root 
access was tricky but it is all good now. Fully updated last night.

    Transferring both Firefox and Thunderbird details was easy going 
from Fedora versions but nothing works transferred to Ubuntu. Version 
wise the Firefox is 2.0.0.10 and Thunderbird is 2.0.0.9 and both from 
yum to the Fedora servers.

    The Ubuntu Firefox and Thunderbird were apt-get install from the 
Ubuntu servers. Here is the problem.

    Firefox stores it's information in /user/.moxilla and I put my F8 
.mozilla in place of the original and now Firefox will not come up. I 
can fix this by deleting /user/.mozilla and letting a new one be made. 
What can I replace in .mozilla that will give it all the saved pages 
from the older?

    Thunderbird is also odd. In Fedora it's data is saved in 
/user/.thunderbird/. The Ubunto Thunderbird seems not to like the older 
data.

    Has anyone had success with this kind of thing?

Karl
