The latter is a subdirectoy.
But why not just copy the whole profile directory? That's what I would
do. There are other things in it which certainly used to be important
and may still be so, such as:
.swfinfo
cookies.desktop
options
*.cache
Note that if you've moved the profile directory to elsewhere on the new
computer, all the paths in the download_history will be wrong. This will
probably only matter in unusual circumstances, but you could do a global
change and replace and save the file as edited. Mention of which reminds
me ...
Note also that if you are moving these files from, say, a Windows PC to
a Linux PC, you will need to change the line-endings in the files using
dos2unix or similar.
