If you also have other things in Firefox that you would like to transfer (like bookmarks, stored passwords, history, etc.), you can also use MozBackup:

This utility can back up (and restore) installed plugins, such as Zotero. Just back up your Firefox profile on your old computer, and restore it on your new one. Of course, if you have set a custom Zotero data directory, you will have to transfer that by hand to your new computer.
