Importing Windows thunderbird and firefox profiles to Ubuntu

If you have a dual boot OS with Ubuntu and Windows, this nice tweak will eliminate the pain of reconfiguring thunderbird in Ubuntu. Simply follow the below steps:-
--> First close all the firefox browser and thunderbird windows. Than open terminal and type "firefox -profilemanager" to open a "Choose User Profile" window.
--> For thunderbird the command is "thunderbird -profilemanager" at the terminal
--> Now click on Create Profile and name it as "Windows"(Can be any name)
--> Now click on "Choose folder" button to select firefox or thunderbird user profile folder. The profile folders are stored at following locations in windows:-
for firefox:- [Drive]\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
for thunderbird:- [Drive]\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles

You can now see all the bookmarks in your firefox and thunderbird working the same as in Windows!!.
