bookmarks vs Pocket

What is the difference between using bookmarks instead of Pocket? How are they different? Thank you!

Bookmarks are stored locally on your computer in your Firefox configuration. By clicking on a bookmark will bring you back to the address that you have registered, loading the page currently available there (in other words, a bookmark is not a copy of a page, it's just a URL). Bookmarks usually accumulate in chronological order, and you can group folders of information. Using the Sync feature, you can share them with other copies of Firefox you have installed on the desktop computer, laptop or Android devices that support Firefox. However, you can access it using other browsers.

The Pocket is a service based on the web with features to simplify the web pages for easier reading. Addresses that add you to Pocket are stored in the cloud by a company called Read It Later (with its own privacy policy). You can access the pages stored in the Pocket using Firefox or another browser, on a wide range of devices. The addresses are displayed in a reading more friendly than the traditional favorites list format.

Pocket offer a paid subscription service that allows to save a snapshot of the page active at all times (otherwise, like a bookmark, if a site deletes a page, the address registered in the Pocket is more useful).

Edit: This site has a bunch of items to help on the Pocket. You can start here and follow the links below for more information: save pages for later with Pocket for Firefox.

  • Anyone else completely baffled by the invisible icon of the 'pocket '?

    Just updated to 38.0.5. On handheld, but the icon is not found. I tried to customize, no icon. Bookmarks has 'Pocket display list', but I can never add anything to the list, because there is the icon or the action to do!

    Disabled modules one by one, no joy.

    Now, it seems as if is WAS my theme, Red Cats (blue). When I switch to the default theme, the Pocket icon is there. When I use my theme and the mouse on the space just to the right of the search box, I get a pop-up message 'Save to Pocket' text, but clicking on it does nothing.

    Firefox Eurorest an empty element called list display pocket to the top of the menu bookmark. I don't know what it is; I don't want to know. I want to just get rid of him, so he didn't unnecessarily takes place each time I open the menu.

    It does not appear in the window display all bookmarks, so I can't remove it directly. I looked for instructions and found a Mozilla Support page titled 'Disable pocket for Firefox,' who says:

    Remove the fallback in your toolbar or menu 1. Right-click on the icon of pocket. 2. Select remove from the toolbar.

    Large. But when I right click the icon of pocket on the menu, there is no suppression of the post of toolbar. The menu contains these entries: open all the tabs. New bookmark; New folder; New separator; Dough (disabled); and show recently marked with a bookmark.

    Pocket is a web-based service to create lists of URLS and share them between devices you use, even the devices don't use Firefox. If this is not its useful, you can right-click on the icon and choose "Remove from toolbar" to remove it. (This also removes it from the bookmarks menu.)

  • I want to remove "list of pocket" from the top of my favorites.

    This is a link that leads me to the Pocket web site that appears at the top of my favorites under "show all bookmarks". When I click on it it is there no option to remove this bookmark. I have not installed Pocket. I looked at and I'm not interested. I don't want to give up a valuable real estate at the top of the bookmarks.

    I read a lot of posts and the help page on how to remove it from the toolbar is not relevant (is not here).
    I also tried to disable the subject Pocket: config by activating / deactivating false values.
    Nothing helps. He uses a lot of space and in the public eye, I find it very annoying and I would like to remove it.

    If browser.pocket.enabled is set to false on the topic: config page then you will need to undo this and set the pref to true to reappear the Pocket button.
    Make sure that the button of the Pocket is placed on the Navigation bar, you can click this toolbar button and use "Remove from toolbar" to turn off Pocket properly.

    You can click on the button of the Pocket (except Pocket) and click on "Remove from Toolbar" or "Remove menu" to turn off the Pocket and move the Pocket to the palette to customize button.
    That will remove the 'Pocket display list' entries in the bookmarks menu.
    This only works if browser.pocket.enabled = true
    When you have moved the Pocket to the palette to customize button and the Pocket in the bookmarks Menu items are hidden, then you can turn off the Pocket and change these preferences and close and restart Firefox.

    • Browser.Pocket.Enabled = false
    • Browser.Pocket.API (net value)
    • Browser.Pocket.site (net value)
  • Bookmarks will not save

    I've been bookmarking Web site for some time. I went to pull a page earlier today and all my new bookmarks are all GONE! I have called the Pocket in my toolbar. I could save a few pages here, but I need my favorites that I recorded recently. They are no where.

    For problems with the file places.sqlite (bookmarks, historical) database, you can check in the Firefox profile folder.

    If you have IE Tab or Tree Style Tab extension, then try disabling this extension as there have been problems reported with this extension and bookmarks.

  • View list of pocket: invasive.

    Display list of pocket:
    So much for Firefox are free when your bookmarks get invaded by junk that you have no intention to use or want. Pocket is a piece of crap, if you want to save web pages for more later, and then mark you just their period. Please people Firefox remove or at least put people back in control of their OPEN SOURCE browser and make it removable. I disabled it but remains in my favorites list, it is quite presumptuous of Firefox techies to assume that we all want this without option for withdrawal, at least make him an add on so that the user has the option of adding or deleting. Bravo and thank you.

    Hi, if you have disabled the Pocket by typing on: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accepted the caveat, scrolled down to browser.pocket.enabled and double click to change the 'Value' of true to False - you need to change this in return! Then right-click on the Pocket button on the toolbar > remove from toolbar - that will remove the Favorites and the toolbar, but it will always be in the menu. To remove also from here, you will then need to change the topic: config assigning a value of False.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

  • Is there a way to show "Bookmark toolbar items" in the Navigation bar, without its setting in the overflow chevron?

    Today I updated to 31.0 30.0 FF, but he eventually change the placement of my toolbar items. Originally, I did ensure that bookmarks toolbar items were placed in the Navigation bar, as well as my icon options firefox 3-bar and bookmarks, download. But now, the bookmarks toolbar items is placed in the overflow chevron icon, as well as other elements of the toolbar (for example, downloading and the extension of Pocket icon).

    Is there a way to prevent this behavior, or should I try to move everything to another toolbar?

    Here are a few screenshots that describes my problem:
    Installation of original toolbar (30.0 FF): https://www.dropbox.com/s/76ovfh2f929n8o4/firefox31.0toolbaroriginal.png
    Changed the configuration of the toolbar (31,0 FF): https://www.dropbox.com/s/qrrllq8m7a98yjl/firefox31.0toolbarchanged.PNG

    In the previous thread we found not somehow integrated to move the items in toolbar of bookmarks on another bar that worked. See: why 31 FF no longer displays my items in toolbar bookmarks in an another toolbar. Maybe someone can develop a custom style rule or any other hack to make it work.

  • I can't go to my bookmarks after update for Sierra

    I have a MacBook Pro. I just updated this week to Sierra with no problems, but now when I click on multiple points in the upper left corner to reveal my favorites and my playlist only, it displays the top sites page and does not open my favorites and reading list, as it used to.

    Can someone tell me how to access my bookmarks and playlist in the Sierra? I'm sure it's something in the settings or something escapes me. My Bookmark Bar is the top of the page, yet. I can't find my bookmarks and reading list.

    Thank you

    Whenever the mouse is close to the border of the left hand, bookmarks / shared links/reading sliding list opens. I never use it. Is it possible to disable this behavior?

    CMD + SHIFT + L brings up all the time, but I want to hide this pane and it did not come out at all. Default behavior is to automatically hide.

    Unfortunately, no.

    This is the default behavior of the sidebar when the window is in full screen mode.
