"Pocket, an app for saving and reading articles later, is shutting down on July 8, Mozilla announced today.

The company sent an email with the subject line “Important Update: Pocket is Saying Goodbye,” around 2 p.m. EST and I immediately started wailing when I saw it.

“You’ll be able to keep using the app and browser extensions until then. However, starting May 22, 2025, you won’t be able to download the apps or purchase a new Pocket Premium subscription,” the announcement says. Users can export saved articles until October 8, 2025, after which point all Pocket accounts and data will be permanently deleted.

The Mozilla-owned Pocket, formerly known as "Read It Later," launched in August 2007 as a Firefox browser extension that let users save articles to... well, read later. Mozilla acquired Pocket in 2017."

Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. This is very disappointing as I love the compatibility with my Kobo.

TL;DR: If you want to customize Firefox using Enterprise Polices, you can create customized policies via the handy Enterprise Policy Generator. You can also browse a collection of policies I created, available for download.

When Mozilla announced their Terms of Use a few months ago, they told us that they would be asking us to acknowledge it at a later date. That day is here, and I took a quick look at it.

“A republic, if you can keep it.”

is it just me or #Firefox sometimes randomly decides to stop responding to any left mouse clicks on existing tabs? like trying to close, go back or unmute – with no reaction

right click and picking an option from the menu works

it started with the last release ig (i'm on 138.0.1, Arch on Wayland)
