Firefox bookmarks are kept in
~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/bookmarks.html, where profile is a random
string, something like this: nt4m68tk.default. I'm not a KDE user,
but I believe the address book is stored in
~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf.
I would backup all of ~/.kde and ~/.mozilla at least, and all of ~/
unless it was simply too large to fit onto you backup drive.

They should. I'd use tar instead of zip. Zip won't include any file
permissions or ownership info.

Use -r to scp to recursively copy the directories.
$ scp -r ~/.kde/share/apps/mail backuphost:/path/to/save/files
You should be able to use scp to transfer files which contain special
characters, you just need to quote them.
$ scp -r 'Don\'tcha hate files with Punctuation!' backuphost:/tmp
I find it a pain to remember to quote things and it messes up my
ability to tab complete things in bash sometimes, so I'd just
recursively copy the whole dir. Or tar up ~/ and then scp that.
Good luck,
