Thanks Ted. I wonder why it happened? I got my email all migrated but my FF bookmarks, history, passwords are proving to be much more difficult. I have copied over my profile to no avail. I'm now going to copy my entire ~/.mozilla folder which is huge and will take much time. Hopefully though it will work. Other migrations only ever required my FF profile.
