I am currently running Firefox & Thunderbird/Lightning in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I wish to do a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with a clean install of Firefox & Thunderbird/Lightning preserving ALL my preferences & data from 16.04.
I do a complete backup (via luckyBackup) of the "Home" folder every time I log on.
Which folder/files should I check for to ensure that I can reload my preferences & data?

Make sure to have copies of .mozilla and .thunderbird, the two hidden directories in the home folder that hold the profiles of Firefox and Thunderbird respectively.
To see the hidden files, use the Ctrl+H shortcut.
