This is one of the awesome things you can do with Dropbox. First go to ~/Library, right or control click on the Mozilla folder, make a duplicate for safe keeping and move it where you can find it later if the need should arise.
Now move the Mozilla folder to your Dropbox folder and create a symbolic link of it. Move the symlink back to ~/Library and remove the space & symlink from the name (the name of the Mozilla folder and the symlink you create have to be identical). Then go to your other Macs, set the ~/Library/Mozilla folder aside for safekeeping, make a symbolic link of the Mozilla folder in Dropbox, move the symlink to ~/Library and remove the space & symlink from the name. Repeat this with all Macs you want to synch your bookmarks with.
This will live update all your bookmarks so if you accidently delete the Mozilla folder in Dropbox, be sure to disconnect from the internet before you log into another Mac because that change will be 'synchronized' too if you don't.
Symbolic links can be made via Terminal or using CM/Services plug-ins.
