iPhone 5s, iOS v.12.0.1, FF v.14.0. Would like to inactivate Pocket. Tried "about:config" - get a black screen - end of story.

Hi, Firefox for iOS and Pocket are separate apps. Are you referring to the recommendations in the New Tab page? If so, those can be disabled in the Settings screen.

  1. Tap the menu button at the bottom of the screen:
    menu button ios 10
  2. Tap on Settings.
  3. Go to New Tab.
  4. Switch off Recommended by Pocket.

Thank you, I don't like to be "spoon fed" by applications so turning off Pocket's "suggestions" is fine by me.
