I'm told that Chrome users can read pages saved to pocket when offline, but it doesn't seem that we can in Firefox - is that true? It would be very helpful if Firefox could directly provide more information regarding the saved pages, including if and how they can be accessed offline. I believe that we have to pay Pocket in order to do that, is that true? Also I have read that even with the paid version, many types of files will not be saved if they are changed by the website, and many cannot be saved for offline viewing at all! It would be really helpful if Firefox could be more proactive about the use of Pocket, and it's limitations. I have tried asking Pocket directly, but their customer service is anything but forthcoming and helpful.

thank you for Firefox, I am a recent convertee, and am loving it, (especially the ability to group tabs.) bookmark feature is nice too.

Hi, this probably isn't what you want to hear, but saving to and accessing your Pocket list on Firefox requires an Internet connection. Offline viewing is possible on other devices with the Pocket app.

For more info, please see - Save web pages for later with Pocket for Firefox.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
