For everyone saying "Customize" this and opt-out/in that. Why not just have Pocket be a pre-installed add-on? That sounds like a compromise that would satisfy both camps and fit in with the Firefox philosophy.


I think this is a very good point, and I agree! For what it's worth, in the response quoted by meesterdude (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9876221), Mozilla said:

> Directly integrating Pocket into the browser was a choice we made to provide this feature to our users in the best way possible.

I don't know why (or whether) this direct integration makes such a difference compared to providing it as an extension, or even what is 'best' about it (fastest? Easiest? Most consistent?), but that's what they said.

EDIT: On the other hand, mburns (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9876467) quotes another reply where Mozilla seem to agree with you.
