Then why the pocket branding and terminology?

It would be one thing if this was marketed as a general way to save things
for later and Pocket just happened to be the only provider at launch with
a published goal/process for adding more services (Instapaper for example).
That is an entirely different message than "Here is Pocket (a completely
independent, profit driven, third party) now integrated into core Firefox.

Having a dialog where you could add/remove/edit "save for later" providers
would go a long, way in my opinion, to curbing the anger about this. Some
of us use Firefox for the primary reason of them giving us choice. To be
totally frank, I prefer Chrome, but find Google as a whole kind of creepy.
I would like to think that there is still at least one browser I can still 
trust.
