>> "* There is no money involved in the Pocket thing."

If there was money involved I would completely respect the decision. The fact that Firefox gets no money from this boggles my mind. It really does. If I was working at Pocket I'd be sitting at my desk laughing at how lucky we got.

Exactly! I recall earlier a thread in which Mozilla employees claimed there is nothing new about Pocket as proprietary search engine UI has long been bundled. But Mozilla gets hundreds of millions of dollars annually for that placement. If Pocket were paying at least tens of millions annually, advertising it by default would be comprehensible. As is, it is totally incomprehensible. It should be returned to addon status and Pocket should pay to advertise through the sponsored tiles/adsinnewtabs program (which I think is great BTW; I'm not a Mozilla basher).
