To copy everything over:
on the old box:

$ cd && tar cvzf mozilla-backup.tar.gz .mozilla*

then copy to the new machine and untar it in your $HOME directory.  If 
you run into any problems, then ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini needs a 
fixin'.

I've kept entire home partitions from one distro to the next and have 
had few problems if any.  In fact I once used the same home partion 
after switching from FreeBSD 5.something to SuSE 9.2, and I don't 
remember there being many problems.
