  I use MozBackup. MozBackup is a simple utility for creating backups of Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla Sunbird, Flock, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite, Spicebird and Netscape profiles.

  It allows you to backup and restore bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, cache etc. It’s an easy way to do Firefox backup, Thunderbird backup …

  Do a quick search for one of your add ons with My Computer.

  If you are searching for Fire Gestures, just search ‘gestures’, because its not always spaced the same.

  When you find the file for the add on, right click, and choose ‘Open Containing Folder’

  Copy that whole folder onto your new computer, with a flashdrive, disk, etc.

  Make sure it is in the right place on your new computer

  Now, just re-dowload Firefox

  Walah!
