Leafnode will only fetch groups for which there has been activity in a
certain amount of time.  (I think it's a week by default.)

From the archives of the two groups in question, it looks like there was
no activity in either of them for a period of a few weeks.  So it is not
surprising that your leafnode installation dropped them, which is why
Thunderbird thinks they no longer exist.

The leafnode documentation suggests several possible workarounds such as
lengthening the timeout period in leafnode's configuration file, always
running fetchnews with the -n option to prevent it from dropping groups,
or using a nightly cron job to touch the relevant files.  Read that
documentation and implement one of the solutions to prevent the problem
from happening again.

To fix the immediate problem, it's probably sufficient to create empty
files in /var/spool/news/interesting_groups for each of the missing
groups.  Then run fetchnews so that leafnode can do it's thing, and
Thunderbird should once again see the groups.

You have to fix the problem with leafnode before worrying about Thunderbird.
