As far as email goes, you would want the Firefox companion product, Thunderbird. And you shouldn't have to change your email address.
If you are using Yahoo Web Mail now, you can access it with Firefox. You need Thunderbird if you have a need for a full mail client - but most home users don't. Browser based email is fine for most users.
