I have firefox on 2 computers and there are different bookmarks on the 2 computers. If I sync them, will I have on set of bookmarks that includes both?

I have 2 Macs, a Mac pro tower and a Macbook pro. Since I use both computers, I have 2 sets of bookmarks with some overlap between the two. I would like to sync them so that I can access bookmarks that I created on one computer on the other one. The question is, if I perform a sync, will the two sets become a single set including all the bookmarks on both machines or will I end up erasing one of the sets? Also, if I have the same bookmark on both machines, will I end up with redundant bookmarks? Thanks for your help.

Ideally the bookmarks will merge, however if there are duplicates on either machines, I do not know where these bookmarks will sync to, I have not tested this yet.

Redundant bookmarks should be removed.
