Starting in Firefox version 40 a version of the Pocket add on is included into Firefox. Disabling this is fairly simple.

To disable Pocket:

  1. Open a new browser tab and navigate to about:config
  2. Read the warning and select the "I'll be carful, I promise!" button.
  3. Copy """browser.pocket.enabled""" and paste it into the search field.
  4. Right click the result and select "Toggle"
  5. Close and restart all instances of Firefox

You will no longer see pocket as an option in the menu or menu customization window.

To re-enable Pocket simply repeat the above instruction.
