Sure does. And I can remove them if I want to. I can apt-get remove libc6 if I really really want to and I accept the consequences. I can't remove non-essential parts of the Firefox, though.

Technically speaking, you (still) can.

Delete /usr/lib/firefox/browser/features/[email protected] (or - better - rebuild the .deb package to not include this file) and the Pocket will be gone. Same for [email protected].

Sync and DevTools are tightly integrated, though. I'd really really wish it would be realistically possible to remove Sync and replace it with something else.
