I have an old desktop running XP. I just got a new HP notebook (windows 2007) What do I need to know/do before I download Firefox on my new computer? I want to make sure I can access my files, bookmarks, passwords, etc,

The user data is stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base or Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the FEBE add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free MozBackup utility.
