What I would recommend is to first quit TB, remove the new F8-TB
profile you have created and copy the F6-TB profile into your home
directory.
Once TB starts up it should automatically convert/update the necessary
data from the old profile and use that information.

I've been using the same TB profile since RH9 (Thunderbird 0.1a). Each
time I upgraded I left the old profile and it got update with each new
version of Thunderbird. Of course I backed up with every new Fedora
release but I've never had a major problem. On occasion I had to tweak
some settings.
