It _really_ bugs me that pocket isn't packaged as a pre-installed extension, that you can uninstall normally.

- rosybox 7y agoI have pocket disabled and I don't see any pocket stuff in Firefox.
- GordonS 7y agoI'm in the same boat - I like Pocket, but I don't think it should be built-in to Firefox. I don't see the issue with making it an extension/plugin.
- Bokanovsky 7y agoI'd up vote you more than once if I could. Originally when Firefox was released it was the antidote to browser forced add ons that were common at the time. I have vague recollections of Netscape Navigator having whole sections of what was essentially ads forced in the browser menu. I don't like Pocket being built in, as it should be a browser add on. It also sets precedence. It starts the chain of thought - "Well Firefox has Pocket, so lets add backed in thing X too". I wish it wasn't baked it as it goes against the whole of Firefox's original philosophy of being light weight and everything else an add on.
- sellingwebsite 7y agoBut you can disable it quite easily: about:config -> extensions.pocket.enabled: false
