Does FF Sync actually synchronize or just copy? If three computers do duplicates get removed or are multiple bookmark files created. i.e. mybookmarks and mybookmarks-2

I have a laptop, an XP desktop which I am retiring, and a new Windows 7 desktop w/ no bookmarks other than the defaults in FF 8.0.

I want to actually synchronize the laptop and XP desktop bookmarks then move or synchronize these bookmarks to my new desktop.

Does Sync create a single bookmark file which is actually synchronized between the computers or does it copy one to the next thus creating multiple bookmark files?

FF Sync will synchronize your bookmarks between machines. It does not merely copy them. For more info: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/que.../new?product=sync.
