It's somewhat possible (albeit with a gecko-backed engine), but it's
not likely what you'd like (missing features, ...)

AFAIK FF doesn't allow imports of password from IE, even on Windows,
but only bookmarks.

Maybe you could try something like lastpass/roboform to sync your
passwords, or re-enter them in Linux Firefox, depending on your trust
on third parties for pwd management.
Those tools might also require you to re-enter your pwds, but I'm not sure.
