I may have disable it sometime in the past, thinking that got rid of it - little I knew. Going to about:config and searching for pocket reveals a number of related settings, with 'extensions.pocket.enabled' being one you should pay attention to. https://help.getpocket.com/article/1025-disabling-save-to-pocket-features-in-firefox It is worth mentioning, Palemoon does not have pocket in it. ;-)
