Forcing Pocket into the browser and shoving it into people's faces turned a lot of people away from Firefox, including myself for several years (before I came to the conclusion that it was still the least-bad option for a web browser). Was it really worth it? Mozilla have made so many blunders over the past 10-15 years that's it's no wonder Firefox is on life support. I'm still forced to support it due to its status as the only bulwark against total Google domination of the web, but it's sad how the idiots in charge at Mozilla have run it into the ground. Maybe this renewed focus on making a good web browser instead of trying to be a 'Big Tech' player will bear fruit, but right now it just looks like an organization circling the drain.
