How do I edit the URL of a bookmark?

I have recently moved from PC to Mac. I can't figure out on the Mac how to edit bookmarks. In other words, I have a URL I use to log into applications for work, but depending on the available servers, that first URL gets rerouted to a different URL by the time I'm accessing the application. Only at that time am I able to save the bookmark, so it's saving the wrong URL to launch the next time. I'd like to edit the bookmark so I can put the right URL in the bookmark. How do I do that? Also - is Firefox synch available between PC and Mac? I don't see sync as an option on my PC's firefox.

In FireFox, click open the Bookmarks menu and click on Show all bookmarks. Find and select the bookmark you want to edit, then make any changes in the Location text box at the bottom of the window.

You can also click the blue star on the location bar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and paste the URL in the location field.
If that doesn't work then do the change as posted above in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)

Thanks! The "All bookmarks" method worked. The edit bookmark method seems like it should work, but it doesn't appear that particular part is an option on the Mac. I can edit the name but not the URL. Maybe in a future firefox release...
