I see a "Pocket" button on the taskbar -- what the heck is "Pocket"?
What is "Pocket" and why should I care?

Pocket is a web-based service for creating lists of URLs and sharing them between devices you use, even those devices do not use Firefox. If that doesn't sound useful, you can right-click the icon and choose "Remove from Toolbar" to remove it. (This also removes it from the Bookmarks menu.)

What is the difference between "Pocket" and Bookmarks+Sync ? I do not understand what "web-based" means.
Bookmarks seems to add every website I visit to its list, regardless of whether I want to save it or not. Does Pocket do this too?

I think you may be confusing "History" with "Bookmarks".
History keeps a record of sites you've visited with no input needed from you. I sometimes find that very useful for finding sites that I've visited.
Bookmarks require you to take action to bookmark sites.
So does Pocket.
I think Pocket is also a way to share those urls with others.
