Privacy-respecting ways to share bookmarks between virtual machines

Firefox is running in several virtual machines. They could all have common bookmarks with something like xmarks. But that would effectively make them public as that company could potentially sell them to third parties.

What are some more privacy-respecting ways to have bookmarks shared between all instances of firefox, in what amounts to a LAN of several virtual machines?

Alternatively and as a compromise, can firefox automatically save a single new bookmark to a tiny .html file that resides in one of the virtual machines and a script running there appends it to a large html file that is set to be the home page of all firefox instances?

Not sure what would happen on concurrency issues. What would you want to happen on various changes?

If two firefox instances edit the same bookmark at exactly the same time, all instances should end up with both versions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_Sync may be a start maybe. It's supposed to be python and should be open I'd think. May be a start.

from that wikipedia page:

Mozilla also offers a synchronization server application for use with Firefox Sync, for users and businesses that prefer to host their own synchronization data.
