How do I get my old, defunct Mozilla Mail address book (as in, I don't have mozilla installed due to a drive failure, but have a backup of my files on my backup USB drive) into Thunderbird?

Open the Prefs.js from your original Mozilla installation and search for the lines beginning
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.
Copy all these lines into the Thunderbird Prefs.js (which you backed up beforehand, naturally). If you renamed an address book or two from Step 1, you'll have to manually edit them in here with similar groups of ldap_2 lines.
Start Thunderbird. Voila -- old address books.
