It’s not clear why Mozilla chose to do away with its home-grown solution for saving articles. With the new integration, users can log into Pocket using an existing account they have with the service, or sign in with their Firefox account. Since then, the service has added a wide variety of features and expanded to other platforms, but its core functionality has remained the same: users feed it some piece of media from the web that they’d like to save for later, and the service will hold on to it. It’s a fitting progression for Pocket, which began life in 2007 as an extension for Firefox called Read it Later. Pocket, a popular “read it later” service, has been integrated directly into Firefox with an update to the browser pushed out on Tuesday.
