Just to chime in my 2 cents here: 1) Click on the Pocket button -> Remove from Toolbar. Now you don't have it in your GUI anymore. This is preferred way over usingabout:config. All the associated menu items (Bookmarks menu and Context Menu) won't show up anymore. There is no interaction with Pocket anymore since all the interaction is only loaded when clicking on the icon.
2) Firefox has a preferencein about:config which specifies the API endpoint: browser.pocket.api . If somebody has a compatible API, feel free to promote that as alternative. Yes, it needs to be compatible though. If you think that the user should have other alternatives as a choice: feel free to propose a patch adding the "choice" in a menu and implement the alternative. A bonus point here for getting the alternative to provide a login for Firefox Accounts as well. 3) There is no money involved in this as far as I can know from the different blog posts by Mozilla. Of course this is only my knowledge and could be wrong. On the other hand I don't think just saying Mozilla should remove it without providing any alternatives doesn't lead this discussion anywhere. According to Mozilla studies have shown that people want to have a "Read Later" list. Mozilla might continue their own implementation, but completing that feature takes some time.Maybe somebody could pick up the work that has already been done there and improve it so it works? Of course there is no guarantee that Mozilla would pick up a working "Reader List" implementation which works with Sync, but it could be worth a try? And a last note: Mozilla management is reading this list so I believe we don't need to spam this list with non-informative and only "me too"-like comments. So please keep keep good input coming and express your support with a vote on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172126(but please don't comment there to not spam people either). You can find the "vote" button in the left column. Cheers, Michael
