Thunderbird should have an easier means of opening an mbox file, rather
than needing to manually copy the file into the Mail directory in your
profile.  Perhaps Tools->Import should offer an "mbox" option; perhaps
"thunderbird /path/to/mbox" should work and mbox files should get
associated with Thunderbird by default (such as in Firefox downloads);
perhaps drag and drop of an mbox file should work.

I bet this enhancement is already suggested in mozilla bugzilla. Can
you search and post the bug number here?

225896 talks about mbox import, drag-and-drop, and opening.  266175
talks about using File->Open to open an mbox file.  (Note that when
266175 claims that drag-and-drop works which fixes 225896, this does not
appear to actually work, at least with Nautilus.)
