I use Pocket# a lot and I would love to suggest another feature that Will make its almost perfect for me (withthis and inline notes it will be perfect for my use case). Please add the ability to read epub files adding them directly from the internet or uploading from computer/mobile device. Its can be a regular or premium festure, but Will make Pocket a real Pocket reader. Thank you. ... View more

I appreciate Pocket, but there's something I think would make it much more usable: have an option for pagination (as I have in my epub reader on my phone, where I can swipe left or right or just tap the left or right edge of the text to move back and forward a page at a time). The manual "stop before you go too far" infinite scroll as provided now is a hassle. ... View more

I like Pocket, but I think it would improve user experience and convenience if all the saved sites were accessible by pressing the pocket button rather than displaying the most recently saved one, this would enhance user experience by making it quick and easy to access saved sites just by pressing the pocket button and finding the saved site they wish to visit, rather then clicking the pocket button and then clicking "View My Saves" and being redirected to the pocket site and then looking for the saved site. I think this idea could really improve pocket and make it quicker and easier for users to access saved sites instantly without being redirected to the pocket site. This can also make pocket more seamless and reduce any extra steps.   Example: In the image below is pocket, it could enhance user experience and convenience if pocket displayed all saved  websites in that pocket box, allowing users to access all their saved websites quickly and easily. It would also make pocket feel more seamless and integrated. You could even add a search box in that pocket box so users can search via tags they add to the website, in case they have a lot of saved websites. So basically users just click the pocket button and all their saved websites are displayed in the pocket box and they can just click on the saved website they want to visit. ... View more

Festive Greetings Mozilla Company and I hope that you are developing for the future. I mentioned this idea in Google Playstore as part suggestions part opinion and got a response, FROM MOZILLA, and a link to say that here so it's about the Mozilla Firefox Browser having a fully Web Developer friendly features such as : 1.Dhtml , Shtml ,Html ,Html5 2.Css , Css2 , Css3 or Css4 etc... 3.Javascript encyclopedia of libraries to add and choose from e.g. Json, React , jQuery ,Ajax or Phaser 4. Php MyAdmin with Zend Engine ( Sqllite, Sql , MySql ) to allow offline developments on the developers device as a virtual server as to allow for offline developments of the web. This would then enable Web Developers to further Develop how they can with the, Mozilla Firefox Web developer browser and once it's prototypical , I suggest that Mozilla would broadcast on all Socials so people like me can get to explore it and reciprocate communication about it here and there ...

With the recent updates to Pocket on iOS and Android, I wonder if there is any potential for adding a feed reader? A user could add their own feeds, use Pocket tagging or the new Lists and obviously save articles. Pocket has excellent syncing so all devices could be kept up to date with what’s been read and saved. There are several open source options that could provide a basis like FreshRSS and could provide Mozilla with an additional revenue source, should they wish to.  ... View more

No matter how many times I give a thumbs down to every single story in specific categories like parenting, home & garden, sports, and food, I still get served these stories. Over and over and over. Same goes for stories I give a thumbs up to — I don't see any more stories of the same type, just the same exact makeup every single day for months. The thumbs up/down system is either a placebo or preferences are simply not weighted enough. At least allow me in the preferences for the homepage to select which categories to enable or disable, arrange them in a preference hierarchy, something. This should be a cool feature but right now it's just a chore. ... View more

This is about using AI in Pocket on your saves. Imagine you collect a series of articles in Pocket to write an essay or base a project on. If you tag them or add to a Collection, they are all there ready to read and view. My idea is an AI-assisted reader where AI is used to summarize these articles, draw conclusions and make comparisons. AI assistance could be called with a series of toolbar buttons, perhaps kept under one button to keep a clean interface. Or, it could offer a text box to type natural-language queries, although this would require a lot more development. With AI, you could Summarize an article into [x] bullet points or a paragraph Explain this [concept] as if I was an [x] year old Explain what this word means Convert units to make stats more comparable or making recipes more useful Compare these saves to pull out their similars and differences Pull out highlight data points Create a structured outline using these saves for an essay about [xxx] Go to the web and find other useful resources to add to the collection - the only time Pocket-AI uses external sources for information Structure results so it’s easy to copy and paste into a document Organise sources into structured and dated references And probably much more Here are the unique points Pocket-AI is developed in accordance with the Mozilla Manifesto, open and safe for all Pocket-AI only uses your Collection as a source of information, therefore it cannot make anything up Uses the latest Firefox translation work to enable built-in translation for non-English speakers Uses Pocket’s read aloud feature to report findings Would be interested in what Mozilla and the community think. In a world where everything has AI attached, that tech companies are more excited about AI as a marketing means than consumers are. This is a tool that could be genuinely useful for learners, hobbyists, bloggers and anyone seeking to make sense of lot of information. ... View more

I often mark article from newsletter I receive to read them later thanks to Pocket. I'm also a big fan and user of the text-to-speech (playback) feature in Pocket App on iOS. Unfortunately, the language detection is not accurate. The pronunciation of some articles is always in English even though the article content is in French. Thus, I have to use the Offline voices from the iOS that are less human in my sense. For example, this article https://theconversation.com/les-consequences-securitaires-du-pacte-vert-europeen-237702 is in french but has a playback in english. ... View more

This may be a bit of far-fetched pipe dream, but Mozilla could use a new edge in the current age of browser technology. This idea is basically to create an in-browser Notion-alternative around open or saved web URLs, possibly with some graph view (a la Cotoami/Obsidian/etc.) which probably sounds crazy but hear me out. Individuals and organizations are growing out of web-based office tools that rigidly define types of "files" and instead moving towards powerful and intuitive everything-workspace platforms like Notion and Airtable. With the address bar in Firefox auto-completing to suggest tabs open elsewhere alongside bookmarks, and features/plugins like Tree Style Tabs, and Tab Grouping, and Multi-Acconut Containers, the functionality of simple Bookmarks has a lot of overlap with "open" tabs and one day the distinction might disappear. I'm envisioning a "workspace" view, which by default might just lay out all your bookmarks and tabs as thumbnails grouped by tab-group or folder, but which can be arbitrarily rearranged, annotated, combined with notes (rip), and shared or published in something akin to a mix of social bookmarking, wiki, or inspiration/interest boards with optional integration with some sort of social media platform *cough cough* Pocket *cough* Maybe this could even be an avenue for monetization as organizations could want to pay to have this hosted with access restricted to company email addresses. ...

For me, often pocket is a "read it later" dump, but too often later never comes. It then would be great to have an option to easily delete older items, like either manually by selecting "delete all older than X" or by setting it once and then it happening automatically. ... View more

While largely forgotten by mainstream internet users, RSS feeds and RSS subscriptions are still supported to this day, and on Firefox there exist extensions like FeedBro and Livemarks to support RSS subscribing years after Firefox dumped native support. The only problem with these extensions is that they offer no means to sync feeds across multiple devices through Firefox Sync. In the case of Livemarks (itself based on Firefox's old native implementation), the reason ultimately comes down to the way Bookmarks are tagged, as Livemarks saves RSS feeds as Bookmarks, but can only update those feeds when the original device is active (IE: the device the initial feeds subscription was made on). https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/issues/22   I propose two solutions to this: 1. Update either Bookmarking tags or Extension Bookmark permissions to enable Livemark syncing across multiple devices 2. Implement a new native RSS Reader solution that could sync feeds across multiple devices (that is, one made with Firefox Sync in mind).   It is worth noting that nearly every modern web browser has some kind of "news feed" feature that allows for updated news articles on the new tab page. On Firefox currently, the equivalent is "Pocket" integration, wherein popular Pocket articles are shared on the new tab page. This could be incorporated into a native RSS reader, wherin Pocket is the default source but users are encouraged to subscribe to additional sources as they browse. Alternatively, Pocket itself could be reworked as both a "Read-It-Later" service and a RSS Reader, and could be a source of revenue for Firefox. Update: With the news that Thunderbird will adopt K-9 Mail as it's Mobile Client with the potential to sync more than just emails between devices, Thunderbird's native RSS Reader could also be an opprotunity to sync RSS Feeds with a Mozilla Account. ...

Hello Mozilla community, I was a huge fan of the former Pocket App on Mac, mostly because I was able to download articles and read them offline. Indeed, I am used to saving articles in Pocket to read them in the train, where the network connection is not the best. Unfortunately, this application has been deprecated and Pocket is only available on Mac through the iOS app. This app is very good on mobile, but doesn't really work on Mac. Having article available offline, participate in a more accessible web, because don't need to rely on their network connection to access the resources they saved. Could you adapt the Pocket app to make it available on Mac in order to benefit from the offline mode ? ... View more

Collections should have a grid option - like groups on chrome. Or them showing on the homepage can be optional It'd be nice to have groups(like chrome tabs in tab) in a "pocket" icon in a corner that we don't want active right now(sorta like one tab, put a pocket space of grid tabs and tab groups), and tab groups/pages in grids like chrome in the main page when we open the app which is active webpages. So - Collections on homepage (grid/list option), grid with tabh in tab grouping - Collections in hidden pocket space, accessible through an icon sorta like onetab(with grid and list option) - collections in main page ( as in webpages, with grouping like chrome - in grid, with tabh in tab, or single tab options) We can store collections in homepage - move them to pocket space by press n slide to the icon, or group them together normally (as in chrome).   Sorry for saying like chrome as much, I really like firefox and not chrome, but wanted to give reference cuz we really need groups tabs and panorama. ...
