You can copy your Firefox profile from one computer to the other and continue working with almost no changes :)

Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

A really easy way to do this is the following:

  1. Click the Start button, type %APPDATA% into the search bar, press Enter (on your old PC)
  2. Right click on the Mozilla folder, copy to a thumb drive (or something you can use to transfer it to your new PC)
  3. Go to %APPDATA% the same way on your new computer
  4. If the Mozilla folder already exists, I'd either delete it or rename it
  5. Paste the Mozilla folder into the same place on your new PC
  6. then upgrade to Firefox 15

You can also use Firefox Sync. How do I set up Sync on my computer?
