Go to the Firefox button -> Bookmarks -> Show all bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Backup then save the file to your desktop or where ever then copy that file to your other machine

Then on your other machine you will repeat the same steps instead of backup you will choose restore, and choose the copied file.

Done
