I have used Mozbackup to make a backup of my profile. I found my profile by clicking on Help, Troubleshooting Information. I copied the whole file to my Seagate that I'm using as an external hard-drive. When I tried to restore it using Mozbackup & the stored file to my new laptop, it consistently comes back with "That is not a valid file." What am I missing? Doing wrong? I have installed TB & Mozbackup on both my laptops. Also will I have to do something similar to get my Firefox info onto the new laptop. Thank you!

Mozbackup is not supported here. it is supported by it's author.

however mozbackup files are only zip files, and can be opened with any zip tool if you change the file extension to ZIp.

On your new laptop you can simply copy the contents of your old profile folder into the new one (With Thunderbird closed on both obviously) without using any tools at all.

Firefox is more sophisticated for moving. You just use Firefox sync which can be accessed from the toobar icon with three horizontal bars.
