How can I copy my FF e-mail address book to newly installed T-Bird?
Win7, 32bit, PC. I'm moving to a new ISP (i.e. from BT to Plusnet). I've been using Firefox as both browser and e-mail client but to help me maintain clarity I want to use T-Bird as e-mail client. I would like to copy my address book from Firefox to Thunderbird but cannot find out how to do it. Can you help, please?

Hello Humsh!
Not sure if I got your question correctly. I believe you were using Firefox to access a webmail from your current ISP (as far as I know Firefox has no built-in mail client)?
If your provider was BT (as you mentioned above) you need to export your address book and then import it to Thunderbird. I've check that BT uses Yahoo mail as backend (bt.yahoo.com) and their instructions on exporting contacts' list can be found here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/manage/manage-10.html
Once exported, in Thunderbird go to Tools|Import and follow instruction on the screen. Also you might need to configure your Thunderbird to use configuration from your new ISP first. Check this help pages:

Hope above can help you move to Thunderbird smoothly!
Cheers!
