I have a new PC and I installed Thunderbird on it. I also have Thunderbird on my old PC. How do I transfer my contacts from my old PC to my new one?

If the old PC has TB 91, copy abook.sqlite and history.sqlite (Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses) from the old profile to the new one, with TB closed. Or, export address books from the old PC in LDIF format and import to TB on the new PC. Tools/Import...Address Books...Text file...select an LDIF file.
