My bookmarks are a mish-mash of random pages on which I accidentally pressed Ctrl+D, nothing more. I think I'm a particularly anomalous edge case on this particular issue because as a web developer I tend to flit around between browsers constantly so no single-vendor syncing service is ever going to be useful to me.
I try to curb what I call my "data hoarding" tendencies too. If I start bookmarking things for real, I tend to fall into a harmful pattern of bookmarking too many things. Next I start fretting over whether they're organised correctly, whether they're named clearly and so on. I've found it's better for my productivity if I just rely on the address bar autocompletion.
It's always cool to read about this kind of usability work though. Mozilla is still king in my book!
Instead of having to make sure we have them organized, browsers should just index their content and provide good search. Indexing engines are more than fast enough nowadays.
I likewise use different browsers often during development, mainly for testing and exploring browser specific options, but use Firefox for my main browser and bookmarking etc. When I want to access a bookmark in, say, Chrome, if the page is open in firefox I simply drag globe icon next to the URL from Firefox and drop it onto chrome. If it isn't already open, I show all bookmarks and drag and drop the bookmark from there.
