I use almost exclusively Firefox or Iceweasel, so I'm not really confronted with compatibility issues. My current personal kludge is to keep bookmarks.html on the partition that I always mount under my homeDir in whatever distro I'm booting, and then link to that from the various distro-specific locations. And I make an effort to sort my bookmarks sensibly. Generic, distro-agnosic links get filled "at the top" and clustered in folders where appropriate. Distro specific links get a separate folder in the "personal toolbar" space.
