Is moving all the user folders to an encrypted directory enough?

In Windows 7, is it enough to move all the subfolders of c:\Users\Username\ to an encrypted file system to have all the important information, like Firefox, Chrome and Intenet Explorer passwords, encrypted?

basically yes. All well behaved software will store your data in your user profile so placing that on an encrypted drive will give you the benefit of encryption. If you have some older software it might want to save it settings and temp files in odd locations.
