Making sure that none of them are actually running, you can do direct
replacements. They're all found in .mozilla/default/xxxxxxxx.slt/. The
Mozilla addressbook is abook.mab and the bookmarks is bookmarks.html.
Technically, you could export the contact list and then import that to
Thunderbird, but since you just use abook.mab in either there's not
much point. Likewise, the bookmarks can be imported through the
bookmarks manager in Firebird (this is sort of worthwhile but can cause
some problems with the bookmarks toolbar). Mail can also be copied over
wholesale - just grab the mbox files Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Templates,
etc and copy them over to the equivalent place in the Thunderbird
(you'll have to replace the null files that will already be there).
Delete the .snm files since it simplifies things when Thunderbird
restarts.
