Firefox has no email features, when you access email through Firefox it is normally a web based email account and the emails are stored on the servers for the email account, and not on your computer. When you sign into the email account, all of your emails should still be there.

The user data such as bookmarks and passwords are stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base or Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the FEBE add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free MozBackup utility.
