Mozilla Weave for Firefox synchronizes your critical browsing information between multiple machines.
The Firefox extension site lists dozens of bookmark synchronization tools. Some sync bookmarks with a commercial service, like the Web bookmarks site Delicious; others sync with private storage, such as a WebDAV or FTP server that you maintain. Weave gives you an option – you can set up a free account at the newly launched services.mozilla.com, or you can run your own server using the open source Weave server code.

Firefox - Weaving the Web

It is worth mentioning that a standard Opera feature, Opera Link, offers a similar synchronisation service for Bookmarks, Speed Dial, Personal Bar, Notes and Typed browser history.I have been using Opera Link since 2007 to synchronise the browsing experience between my desktop computers and mobile phone, it works really well.
Opera rarely seem to get credit for pushing such developments, I don't know if it is because they are not Open Source (at least it is free) but the press never seem to give them the recognition or plaudits that they deserve. Mozilla Weave is a case in point (and Fennec will be the next despite the fact that Opera Mini has been around since 2006).
