How do I import backup files of Thunderbird profiles and Firefox bookmarks from my Windows XP computer, which are on a USB flashdrive, to my Windows 7 computer?

Carbonite provided me with complete backup copy of all files on my prior Windows XP computer, on a 32GB Data Traveler USB flashdrive, so I can transfer them to my new windows 7 computer. 

    Many of those files will simply restore....but, I believe that all my Firefox bookmark files and my Thunderbird address book and local folders files will need to be "imported" by some procedure to make the transition from WinXP to Win7.
