Is that all you want to move? How about accounts, archives, filters etc. Mozbackup can zip it for you to move.
If you only want your addressbook then either you export it as ldif or a csv file (or both) OR you install another add-on ImportExportTools https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/index-en.html

How do I move my address book from my old computer to my new computer?
I exported my Personal Address Book to an LDIF file but when I Import them to the new PC with TB, a new address book is created. How can I get them into the default Personal Address Book that is part of TB?
Drag and drop. press ctrl to copy
Doesn't seem to want to work. I copied the LDIF file to a thumb drive, inserted it into the new PC, opened Windows Explorer, the new empty address book in TB, selected the Personal Address Book and drug the file to the Address Book window, pressed CTRL and nothing happened. What did I do wrong?
Thanks,

Open TB and import, as Diego Victor said, your ldif into address books From the new imported address book: Mark, drag and drop those addresses into your personal address book. (or keep it as is) With ctrl pressed they will be copied, without they will be moved.
Now I understand. Thanks to all.
