The main reason I still keep running Mozilla is that I have a massive collection of bookmarks on Mozilla, built up over the years, and also an assortment of auto-login data for certain websites (userids & passwords), and an unknown number of cookies also accumulated over time. Not forgetting sundry plugins.
There is a settings import wizard in Firefox but on my version at least it appears to be broken. Not sure about the other stuff but moz keeps its bookmarks in a bookmarks.html file in the user profile. You can also import/export this file in the Bookmarks manager.
I have a script that uploads mine every week to a location in webspace I have. That way I can access a reasonably up to date version of my local bookmarks from anywhere.
I would have thought that selectively copying files and folders from your mozilla profile directory would work, some of the stuff in there will be version or installation specific so you will have to get Firefox to create it's own fresh profile first and then copy in the stuff you want to keep. I think the auto complete stuff may be in formhistory.dat although I think the auto-login data could be somewhere else.
Also bear in mind that some of your extensions may be Mozilla or version specific.
