I really want to use Firefox, but feels a bit odd

I don't see Pocket anymore on FF. It irritated me, so I eradicated it through the settings somehow. Took a bit of time to figure it out. FF has been fine for me except for a few edge cases where I need to use Chrome.
Same here, looks like I done it long time ago and never forgot what pocket is.
For others here is the official support page with detailed explanation how to disable it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-re-enable-pocket-for-firefox
I've been using Firefox for the past 20ish(?) years now, I never had an issue with Pocket. Isn't that a service you have to sign up for anyway? If you don't, then it's just an inactive icon on the toolbar. I don't see how people can be bothered by that so what am I missing?
P.S: I just noticed that there isn't even an icon now unless you manually sign up for pocket
I got rid of my icon ages ago - one of the great strengths to me is the ability to customise the taskbar as you see fit, you can remove literally any icon you don't want there. Even the URL/search box if you want.
About the only time I see anything pocket related is when FF updates and there's some blurb about it in the 'new features' page. Otherwise I pretty much forget it exists.
Exactly. I was referring to it as an "inactive icon" in the context of a user that doesn't bother customizing their UI. Firefox has got to be one of the most customizable browsers out there. Even before delving into the madness that is userscripts!
