&gt; I&#x27;m sure you know what I mean by pushing, you&#x27;re just doing wordplay. That&#x27;s not how it works.<p>No, I don&#x27;t. They did with Pocket what they do with every nontrivial feature. Implemented it, and sherriffed it through the release trains. I don&#x27;t think it was immediately plopped on a Firefox release, I recall seeing it on Developer&#x2F;Aurora much earlier, which means it went through the release trains like everything else. The OP said, quote, &quot;so why was Pocket pushed _so hard_ and couldn&#x27;t wait a couple of Fx versions&quot;. How was it &quot;pushed&quot; &quot;hard&quot; if they did the _same thing_ they do for other features?<p>Yes, they made the decision to implement this feature. That doesn&#x27;t count as pushing. I already illustrated why that decision made sense at the time.<p>Perhaps there was some backlash as it was on Aurora&#x2F;Beta, I don&#x27;t recall the exact timelines. IMO it&#x27;s still okay to let the feature -- one which you still think makes sense and would benefit the userbase -- continue to ride the trains and hit a release while you try to understand the criticism and come up with a solution. It may be a better solution to disable it until a decision is made, but that depends on the perceived severity of the problem. Again, I don&#x27;t see any hard pushing here, just a somewhat justifiable choice. I too would have preferred if they removed the feature when there was backlash, but I don&#x27;t see anything wrong with the other solution. If you immediately backtracked every time there was criticism nothing would get done.<p>&gt; but the criticism came from the fact that this 3rd party extension came preinstalled and was &quot;pushed&quot; to users.<p>Sure. But you gave the example of Instapaper (which you seem to be more okay with Firefox integrating with); I&#x27;m suggesting it was probably less popular than Pocket in FF or at least comparable popularity. I&#x27;m not disagreeing that integrating with a closed third party service is not good. I&#x27;m just pointing out a flaw in your Instapaper comment.
