I am in the process of building up a "new" Linux machine for my wife. I have loaded Linux Mint and updated it. My wife is currently using the same version of Mint on her current machine. I have used the Mint software backup/restore to bring over the downloaded software.
OK, for Thunderbird, the best way is to backup the Thunderbird directory, move it to the new machine, and create a profile, pointing it to the directory. Everything should transfer over fine (I keep my email directory on a portable hard drive, and move it from computer to computer; I use it on my Linux VM's as well as Windows). Thunderbird doesn't open to the profile manager, use the argument "-p" (without the quotes).
Firefox has a feature where you can keep your account info on a cloud server (it's encrypted). It's the "Sync" tab in the options. Here is the official "help" page on that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync
