Here are some step by step instruction on moving the filters over:

#Copy and paste the text in to the [http://wikimozfilter2sieve.aasourceforge.org.uk/aacustomnet/mozilla2sievemailfilters.html converter]
#Install the ThunderBird ManageSieve Addon:
#*Tools - Addons - Search for Sieve, and Install 'Sieve 0.22'
#Go to Tools - Sieve Message Filters
##Click 'New...'
