I actually enjoy pocket and is one of the features that I don't want disabled when using Arkenfox, but I can't see to figure out what thing in the user.js file caused it to disappear from my home screen. I already have all the pocket settings enabled in the settings menu, so it has to be something in the user.js file. Any help is appreciated.

You need to make sure that both of these prefs are true:

  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.topstories
  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.system.topstories

Also, you should note that user.js sets all the prefs in it at every startup, so if you set these prefs in about:config but they are set to some value in user.js then your changes will be undone on startup.

Yes I was already aware of that, I already undid some settings such as the startup page set to about:home instead of about:blank and keyword.enabled to true, I think it makes it more robust.

Although it seems like neither of the settings you mentioned were in the user.js file and only one of them was set to false in about:config which I toggled back on.

Thank you for your help

Why don't you use Firefox if you want this crap?

Hardened Firefox is still Firefox, ain't it Einstein?

Technically no... Which is why they have to use a different name

Hey genius, if I have Firefox installed, and add in a user.js file to harden it, it's STILL Firefox dumbass. Go back to using Chrome.

LoL… Apparently you don’t know what you are doing... Pocket is for loosers btw

You can't even spell "losers" properly you fucking dumbass, go back to first grade and relearn English before you learn computers.
