Well your preferences are held in the files prefs.js and user.js in your 
profile directory. So you can copy those over. user.js is the one you'd 
edit if you were to change something though, or better would be to user 
about:config. I don't think it would be easy to copy extensions over, 
but I can't remember off-hand. What I currently do though is have a 
"shared" FAT32 partition that both Windows and Linux can see. I have my 
bookmarks file and mail (and sigs) on that partition, and have 
configured Firefox and Thunderbird to read from there rather than the 
default location (although I'm thinking of trying IMAP actually). 
Anyway, that has worked quite well for me -- but you have to change a 
setting in about:config (just do a search for "bookmarks" or something).
