At least it means Mozilla has reviewed the Pocket code embedded in the browser and it doesn't send every single keystroke to GetPocket. It's good, because I don't usually install browser extensions for the very reason that I don't know what parts of my privacy I'm giving up.

Btw, just a question because I'm not sure. They've reviewed the Pocket code, right?

The Pocket integration is open source, and it went through the same peer review process all code goes through before being pushed to the repositories.
Is the code on the Pocket servers open source? Can I point Firefox at my own Pocket server (or a Pocket server run by any organisation other than Pocket)?
You currently cannot point Firefox to your own Pocket-compatible service. The Firefox integration uses non-public parts of the Pocket API. A Mozilla employee opened a bug for this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1179699
