Information
Previously known as Read It Later, Pocket is a social bookmark service that allows users to save a variety of content to one place and access it later from any device. This content includes web pages, blogs, videos, and news sources.
The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled
When using Pocket, users agree to let Firefox collect information including their browser and device type. In addition, this information along with other information (including some personal information) related to Pocket user accounts may be provided to third parties. Firefox also asks users to provide usernames and passwords for third-party sites to access articles and information published on them. Firefox states that cookies and other analytics tools are necessary for the Pocket website to function and cannot be switched off.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to Enabled :
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Mozilla\Firefox\Disable Pocket
Note: This Group Policy path does not exist by default. An additional Group Policy template ( firefox.admx/adml ) is required - it is available to download at this

.
Impact:
Data such as web pages, blogs, videos, and news sources will not be shared via Pocket.
