Mozilla is really complaining about pushy sales tactics, when they themselves push their paid Pocket service on me every time they can find an excuse to do so?

  Can you not simply remove the Pocket button, or install a different extension to keep track of sites for you? iOS does not allow you to install an alternate browser engine. Windows does not allow you to remove Edge. That's very different from an extension or toolbar button that you can easily turn off or replace.

    To use your comparison, Windows is fine with you pulling Edge off the taskbar. To abuse the comparison further, Firefox does not allow you to uninstall the pocket addon. Mozilla needs to be held to the same standards they're attempting to hold others too.

        #1 appears to have been a bug. That's certainly not the behavior right now. Same with #2 apparently, because again, it happily opens links from other applications in Firefox for me. As of Windows 11 build 22000.978

  Not to mention the VPN and whatever other abandonware-in-potentia the Mozilla Foundation is funding. It's so damned frustrating.
