Hey,
  The bookmarks are kept in roughly the same place in both windows and
ubuntu[1].
  You could simply write .bat and .sh scripts to copy from one to the other
as needed.
  If you have a gmail account there's also a firefox plugin[2] that may help
automate it.

cheers,
Owen.

[1] My login on both is 'owen' and 'C:\' is mounted at '/ntfs/C/'. Here're
the locations for me:
/ntfs/C/Documents and Settings/owen/Application
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/ofsk1112.default/bookmarks.html
/home/owen/.mozilla/firefox/7khyy2d1.default/bookmarks.html
  There's also a folder 'bookmarkbackups' with datestamped backup copies.
