Theres a firefox extension called Xmarks that syncronizes every firefox bookmarks you have on several computers.

As dude67 says, go into Bookmarks, then Organise Bookmarks, then you have the option to make a backup of them. Using the backup method, exports to a json file that you can then import again on your other system. I've never used the export to html option but I expect it works just as good.

 

Make the backup, copy to a USB stick, and then repeat the same method, except restoring them on the Linux machine. Simple really.

Well, I've always used the html backup and it has worked fine. Although I have not used it in a couple of years, I would expect it to work just fine. Just give it a go, you won't lose anything.

Thank You all for the rapid response and reply. This is the linux community. The strive to help other people all over the world. Thank you again.
