Mozilla had previously made Pocket a mandatory part of Firefox and that really annoyed a lot of people because Pocket's business model was to spy on users for profit. This acquisition gives me hope that the spying will be eliminated, making Pocket - which is a genuinely useful tool - safe for all to use.

Pocket will join Mozilla's product portfolio as a new product line alongside the Firefox web browsers with a focus on promoting the discovery and accessibility of high quality web content. (Here's a link to their blog post on the acquisition). Pocket's core team and technology will also accelerate Mozilla's broader Context Graph initiative.

    you really have to provide more information if you want anyone to bother trying to answer your question
    like all the info necessary for someone else find this "noscript.default" thing you are talking about.

    its almost like you've never had to work tech support in your life and have no idea how to file a bug report

    If you don't know where "about:config" is, then you're not going to be *any* use to me at all. Maybe the problem is that you don't understand complex abstract words like "there", in which case, you'll be equally useless.
