Those are personal information located in your home. You can either copy 
your whole home directory from an old location to new, preserving all 
settings

# cp -a <oldhome> <newhome>

or you just copy the directories which hold the programs' settings you 
mentioned. That should be $HOME/.mozilla/firefox and $HOME/.evolution 
(last one is a guess, I don't use it)

The best solution is to place /home on an independent partition. This will 
preserve your home on every installation so you won't loose your settings 
any more - assuming you don't create a new file system on it ("format it" 
in Common Tongue of Redmond's Followers).
