The Firefox profile folder was mentioned earlier.
Before I go into details, I'd like to mention why someone would want to move folders to Dropbox. The application basically moves the selected directory into the Dropbox directory and creates a symbolic link afterwards that points from the source folder to the new Dropbox folder location. The idea behind the free software Dropboxifier is to streamline that process. The process of moving apps or a folder to the Dropbox usually involves some form of symbolic linking or editing of a program's configuration file in order to keep the software fully working under the operating system. That way they always use the same and up to date Firefox profile folder and do not have to worry about missing bookmarks, history or extensions.
This includes for instance the Firefox profile folder which they can then access effortlessly from all connected computer systems. I know several computer users who use the file hosting and syncing software Dropbox to host some of their application's data.
