The firefox integration is not a pocket-brand application, website, or technology. It uses pocket's public API and is open-source, mozilla-developed and -licensed code.


I thought the API used was undocumented and custom to Firefox? I don't know where exactly I found the Google groups discussion going on between various Mozilla people and the community, but this was a point made a number of times. IIRC at least one Mozilla person was working on getting clarification regarding this clause of the TOS.



Yeah, you can see in the js file that the API endpoint /firefox/save is used, which is not covered in the public api documentation.

A Mozilla employee opened a ticket for this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1179699
