Remove "Save to Pocket" in Firefox Quantum

Firefox Quantum represents the "rebirth" for Mozilla Firefox, which in recent years has lost a lot of popularity in favor Google Chrome and even a Microsoft Edge, after it was released with Windows 10.

The new Firefox Quantum brings a different experience than previous versions, and for the first time in recent years, it tends to overcome speed and by interface moderna, Google Chrome. It becomes a good alternative for those who want to try it and give up Chrome.

Firefox Quantum brought many news, including the service of "read-it-later“, Pocket. A "pocket" library where users can save articles, video lesson or web pages, which can later be accessed on Android or iOS via the Pocket app. At the same time, articles of user interest are also received.

However, if this service is not useful and you no longer want it to be present in Firefox Quantum, you can remove it partially or totally.
