    I have my laptop next to my desktop here as I work. Sometimes I get distracted on my desktop and see something I want to watch, but I prefer to do so on my laptop. So, instead of any kind of smart or integrated solution - heck, not even just signing into a Firefox account - I copy and paste the link into an ever-growing draft email (never to be sent to myself) on my web-based account and then save it, refresh the draft on my laptop and click on the the link to open there.
