Do you plan to add animation after adding pages to list Pocket? For example, it is possible to make the animation as it is now when the download is complete. Because now it is not clear what action takes place, it is not user-friendly interface.

Is Pocket a 1st'ish party (like Hello) or a 3rd party extension (paid/licensed doohickey)? If third party, please make it appear in the add-ons/extensions list so that I can remove it completely. Ideally, ask the user before installing it? I'm on the beta channel, and I know I'm just a guinea pig for tests and incomplete features, but before it hits the release channel I hope it drops a little more gently on the user than it did on me here.

This is rather ridiculous. I gather you need sponsors' money, but the whole point of Mozilla is promoting an open web; building proprietary services into the browser contradicts that. Feedback from users on Pocket integration seems almost universally negative, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/35u720/firefox_beta_now_integrates_pocket/ From that thread it appears that justification is that you need a synchronising Reading List by June, which seems a rather arbitrary deadline and one I believe users would be happy to miss, especially since I've been using reading mode on Firefox for Android for quite some time without it. Other users point out that Pocket harvests a lot of data about reading habits, which has major privacy implications and should be the subject of a user-facing disclaimer in the install process. Pocket already appears to offer a Firefox extension anyway for those who care: https://getpocket.com/welcome?ep=1

Hi there, i my opinion the "pocket" integration itself is a bug. Such features should be plugins. The user should have the freedom to decide to install such plugins or if he don't like it not to do so. I don't like such pressure from Mozilla to the end user. It's not nice for the user to search the web just to deactivate this feature.
would be really cool if I could right click on a link and press on "Save to Pocket" because I want to read it _later_
Also it would be really cool if I could set something like a pookmark in a specific page For example: I'm currently reading a super long article (wikipedia for example) and then I need to go away but want to read completely Would be really cool if I could set like a red line or something that tells me "you are currently at this spot in the article. You read everything above. You didn't read anythign below" I'm sorry for posting this here instead of creating a ticket for it. is this inappropiate?
(In reply to Jonas Dralle from comment #7) > I'm sorry for posting this here instead of creating a ticket for it. is this > inappropiate? Our usual work flow is to file new "bug" reports for every such feature/task, so that they can be individually tracked. That said, those are two very interesting proposals! Can you file them as new ones (just use the same product/components as here, i.e. "Firefox"/"Pocket") or should I do that for you?
(In reply to Robert Kaiser (:kairo@mozilla.com) from comment #8) It's now available at #1172322 Have a nice day
Attached patch unpocket.diff (obsolete) (deleted) — — Splinter Review
I've a patch that fixes the symptoms of this issue, but I'm not sure I understand the underlying cause very well.
This is a metabug, and the "please remove Pocket" issue is already covered by bug 1172126 and the .governance discussion.

Pocket integration is finished, so this metabug doesn't need to stay open anyway.
