My concern is that Mozilla has been on a "Sure, you can provide feedback, but we're gonna do it anyway" streak. Pocket is quite unnecessary, and would be a great candidate for an add-on. I don't know their reasons for bringing it in, but it seems pretty cut and dry that there were a lot of users who didn't want it even after it was cleaned up, and Mozilla ignored them.

- CaptSpify 9y agoDoes Mozilla look at any of the other top add-ons and implement them natively in the browser? Why was Pocket so special?

This is the best I can do not being involved and two years after the fact.
