Mozilla should export your bookmarks as an .html file that you can copy and move anywhere you want. I don't know about passwords though. Firefox, which is similar to Mozilla (based on the same engine anyway, AFAIK) doesn't offer any means of exporting stored passwords, and I don't know of a browser that does. Further, cookies aren't exportable, because they are usually machine specific to some degree, especially the log in type.
