That doesn't remove the feature from the right-click menu. And, there's a ton of other configs in about:config which mention Pocket, some of them include URLs. Does setting pocket.enabled=false disable retrieval of those URLs? FF accounts & sync do nothing if you don't use them... except recommend to me that I use them. The data might be e2e encrypted but that's still more attack surface than _not_ having the data there in the first place. Yes, it's extremely useful for a huge number of people but nonetheless it's still a privacy issue for me. Extension & feature recommendations being done in browser isn't the point. The point is that they're _done_ in the first place. Which means that not only does Firefox parse and render content, but it inspects it and tries to determine what I'm doing and what extensions "might" help. Thanks but that falls right into creepy territory for me. It's only one step away from sending that already-data-mined data to some marketing company.
