> Having Pocket installed is the common case and the one that should be optimized for. This statement is utterly wrong. Pocket has 14,000,000 users. Firefox has between 125,000,000 and 150,000,000 users. Assuming every single Pocket user is also a Firefox user, you're now optimizing for 10% of your users. This is clearly stupid. It's also incorrect to claim that parsing and loading an addon would increase startup time. It's already loading the Pocket button; moving that code into an addon would not affect startup time at all. What it would do is allow users to disable or remove the Pocket integration -- which of course Pocket is paying Mozilla to prevent. Don't pretend this is a technical decision. It is a business transaction.
