[SOLVED] can't get firefox to install the bookmarks and passwords

I installed Ubuntu 22.04.4 on a new system. I got .thunderbird copied from old and placed in the /Home/user folder. I placed a copy of .mozilla into same folder and when I go to run Firefox it doesn't know my passwords or bookmarks.
Ubuntu says the .mozilla folder goes in the /~ folder, so I put a copy there. Doesn't work! Another Ubuntu says it goes in the /user/.config folder. None of the places I've put it so far works.

What folder do I put it in? Or, what folders do I copy from the old system and where do I put them in the new system so I can have the passwords and bookmarks back again?
The .mozilla folder is huge, is it too large?
