May 19, 2016 7:32 AM in response to Edg-Rby alex_h1,Howdy Edg-R,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
I understand you want to start using iCloud Bookmarks on your Windows PC. To do this, you will need to download the iCloud for Windows tool as shown in the link below.
Set up and use iCloud for Windows
Have a good one.

May 19, 2016 8:59 AM in response to alex_h1by pommedereinnette,Hi alex_h1,
I can't speak for Edg-R, but I was installing iCloud for Windows today and got it running except for the problem with the Firefox iCloud Bookmarks add-on. I have installed iCloud for Windows before on another PC a couple of weeks ago and it works fine, including iCloud bookmarks in Firefox. The problem is that the Firefox add-on appears to have been delisted from Mozilla's Firefox Add-ons website. Not sure when that happened but it seems pretty recent.

May 19, 2016 9:15 AM in response to pommedereinnetteby pommedereinnette,★HelpfulSo I fired up the PC on which I successfully installed iCloud for Windows (including iCloud Bookmarks for Firefox) a couple of weeks ago, dug around in my Firefox profile folder and copied the iCloud Bookmarks add-on to my Firefox profile folder on the PC I was trying to install it on today (it's iCloud Bookmarks version 1.4.22; Firefox is at version 46.0.1).
Result: I can see my iCloud bookmarks, but th iCloud Bookmarks add-on appears in the add-on list with a yellow warning text that says "iCloud Bookmarks is known to cause security or stability issues. More information". When I click on the more information link, I'm taken to a webpage (https://blocklist.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/i1214) which says:
=====
iCloud Bookmarks has been blocked for your protection.
- Why was it blocked?
- This add-on is causing frequent and persistent crashing.
- Who is affected?
- All users of this add-on. If you wish to continue using it, you can enable it in the Add-ons Manager.
- What does this mean?
Users are strongly encouraged to disable the problematic add-on or plugin, but may choose to continue using it if they accept the risks described.
When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other third-party software that seriously compromises Firefox security, stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this support article.

Looks like Apple & Mozilla have some talkin' to do.

Jul 9, 2016 5:16 PM in response to Edg-Rby CVGAnton,I been looking around for how to resolve this to. The reply by pommedereinnette is if you already have the FireFox Add-on but if your like me and you don't have it and want to install it then your out of luck right now.
As of May 18, 2016 it looks FireFox it looks like its been blacklisted. Here is a link to the posting: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1123506
Hope this helps.
