> I wanted them synced

Both Firefox and Chrome sync. But you already answered this yourself.

> How often do I have to rearrange them?

You don't rearrange any bookmarks in your browser. Frequently-used links like Gmail, Twitter, Weather etc is something you keep in front of you all the time. These are links to other services you use daily.

The Read-later types, those you can simply either delete (from the Read-later folder) or you move to another folder when you know you have consumed them. It takes few clicks.

The reason you link-blog them on Tumblr or G+ is because you may want to revisit the sites to refresh your memory, or you may be sharing your link-blog with someone else (not necessarily the whole world though).

> I go back to my bookmarks months (years?) after I've booked marked them

There was an article not too long ago which suggested that people don't really visit their bookmarks but they think that they will.

The reason you can technically forget about your online bookmarks is becuase Google search is handy. If you can search your saved-bookmarks using tag words or other keywords, than you can do the same on Google. Again, the shift-in-perspective I am talking is already making sure that you are keeping the most important bookmarks (your tools, your read-later articles etc) closest to yourself. You are only ignoring the not-so-important URLs.
