I accept the challenge. I will do my best trying to explain this as simple as 
possible.

According to the first paragraph of the Pocket(tm) ToS[1]:

> By installing the Pocket(tm) application, visiting our website or installing

It is UNCLEAR whether Pocket(tm) integration in Firefox counts as so-called 
"Pocket Technologies". We suppose the worst: that is does. Therefore the fact 
the one's Firefox contains Pocket(tm) integration implies that the one agreed 
to Pocket(tm) ToS. That's the problem.

Was my explanation of one of the problems with Pocket(tm) integrations good 
enough for you to understand?

I think that you, Ryan, acting as a mozillian, are being too aggressive and owe 
us an apology. I suspect that you didn't even tried to read Pocket(tm) ToS in 
the first place, because the problem we're talking about is written in THE 
FIRST PARAGRAPH of that ToS. And it seems to me that you're acting all like 
"lalala I'm not listening there's no problem you were unable to explain that to 
me you trolls therefore there's no problem" - as troll, in other words.
