User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0 Build ID: 20160426200017 Steps to reproduce: I use /usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/prefs.js for global preferences that effect all user accounts. Up to Firefox 45.0.x I had this line to disable pocket: pref("browser.pocket.enabled", false); I update this setting for Firefox 46.0: pref("extensions.pocket.enabled", false); Actual results: Firefox ignores this single setting from /usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/prefs.js, every user has to disable via about:config in personal preferences. Other settings are honoured as expected. Expected results: Firefox should disable pocket when said preference is given.
Surely a dupe of bug 1245277

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!
