How to sync bookmarks across Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox bookmarks?

As I, currently, understand, Google Chrome puts bookmarks seperatly from Google Bookmarks, which is accessible in Firefox by using Google Toolbar for Firefox. Right?

So how should I synchronize my browsers? I use Google Chrome as my primary browser and it works good and bookmarks are synchronized across number of computers I'm using.

Thanks, viliusk

Yes, as jcnaquin suggested, Xmarks is awesome.

(Chrome Extension, Firefox Ad-on)

Not only can you do cross-browser, but you can set up profiles for different computers (Work/Home/Custom) and determine which bookmarks/folders go with each profile. This can help you sync work with home, and home with work (pardon the "pun"), but choose if you want specific bookmarks to be at home, or if you want to leave them at work.

In addition, you can sync Passwords, or Open Tabs on each computer, but only if you want to, of course.

As a common sense, make sure to turn off bookmarks sync in both Chrome & Firefox on all machines prior to using Xmarks. It is truly a nightmare when all three bookmarks sync service are fighting, duplicating exponentially bookmarks across 14+ browsers among 6 or 7 boxes. – Antony May 22 at 16:06

xmarks works great. I've tried it and wrote a bit on my blog vilius.kraujutis.lt/2011/01/xmarkscom.html – ViliusK Jan 16 '11 at 9:13
Does it sync history too? – superjoe30 Jan 29 at 8:11
