CEO Chris Beard revealed in an interview with CNET that Mozilla may start offering "freemium" services in the near future:

There's another side as we start to look at products that we could potentially offer. Some of them start to look like services, exploring the freemium models. There'd be a free level always, but also some premium services offering.

That Yahoo! money has to run out at some point.

  is if they're going to force the services on us. I've already got Pocket and a bunch of other junk I can't stand polluting my context menus.

  Go to about:config and set extensions.pocket.enabled to false

  Never even noticed that button until now. Clicked on it to see wtf a "Pocket" is, then headed right over to about:config to turn the thing off - thanks for the pointer!

  Happen to know how to remove the "Share This Link" context menu and the "Share this page" menu icon?
