[Affected versions]: - 46b6 [Affected platforms]: - all [Steps to reproduce]: 1. Start FX with a new profile 2. Sign in to Pocket 3. Open a new private window 4. Open a page and save it to Pocket 5. Click on the "View Pocket List" button [Expected result]: - "View Pocket List" shouldn't ask for credentials [Actual result]: - "View Pocket List" requires sign-in when opened in Private Browsing, although pocket saving works fine [Regression range]: - reproduced on FX 45, 48.0a1 (2016-03-31)
Again, if this applies to 45, why is this blocking bug 1215694 ?

I'm not certain this is actually a bug. If anything, it is a bug that the pocket addon credentials are used in the private window.
No longer blocks: 1215694
Pocked moved to a system add-on in bug 1215694, which landed on FX 46. So, I though all the new bugs should block bug 1215694. The 45 flag is set so people to know this is not a recent regression caused by the Pocket moving.

This bug has been closed due to inactivity and/or the potential for this bug to no longer be an issue with the new Discovery Stream-powered New Tab experience, and improvements to Pocket’s integration with Firefox.

Please help us triage by reopening if this issue still persists and should be addressed.

Thanks!

The behaviour in comment #0 still occurs; as comment #2 suggests, it's not clear which of the two cases (saving to pocket or showing the list) needs fixing here - but we should make a decision, the status quo is unexpected.

We removed the "view pocket list" item.

We have a "View My List" button in the Pocket panels which is essentially the same, no?

When I click it while in private browsing, it seems to save just fine redirects me to a non private tab. That feels broken to me.

You are right, sorry for missing that. I'll leave you the needinfo then! ;-)
