View Pocket List: So much for Firefox being open source when your bookmarks get invaded by junk that you don't have any intention of using or want. Pocket is a piece of crap, if you want to save web pages for later then you just bookmark them period. Please Firefox people remove it or at least put the people back in control of their OPEN SOURCE browser and make it removable. I have disabled it but it remains in my bookmarks list, it's quite presumptuous of Firefox techies to assume that we all want this without an option for removal, at least make it an add on so the user has the option of adding or removing. Cheers and thank you.

Hi, if you have disabled Pocket by typing about:config into the address bar, pressed Enter, accepted the warning, scrolled down to browser.pocket.enabled and double clicked to change 'Value' from True to False - you need to change that back! Then right click on the Pocket button in the toolbar > Remove from Toolbar - that will remove it from bookmarks and the toolbar, but it will still be in the menu. To also remove it from there, you then need to change the about:config setting back to False.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Thanks Scribe, the problem was it wasn't on the toolbar so I added it, then removed it and changed the setting again in about:config back to false and it's now gone cheers for your post very helpful.
