If that person likes it they can go to AMO and install it like the extension that it's supposed to be. Instead of wasting space, time, and technical debt for all the users who don't want to use it.

How is this technical debt? It’s a plug-in. None of its code is in Firefox.

Serious question - would you object as much if it was called “Firefox save page”? Because I’ve never heard HN complain about Firefox sync, which has all your passwords, your history etc.

Pocket explicitly requires a sign in with a separate Pocket account. What now?

Doesn't Pocket require a sign in too?
