Hi,

After too much instability on nightly recently, I installed firefox stable. Big issue : the pocket button is not in the adress bar 0_0

I serched it everywhere and do not find it. I also check the properties to see if pocket isn't disable but no, the boolean is at true.

It's a fresh install of 58 (now 58.0.1) on ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Ok so I purged firefox + delete ~/.mozilla directory then re-install and the pocket show up!

Thanks for your help, would love to know the real reason but I am dependent on pocket so :-s...

Thanks a lot!

Are you sure that on the about:config page the value of the preference extensions.pocket.enabled is set to true  ?

Are you sure that at one point you didn't use something like CCleaner  ?

See my last post - that would explain it .....

Before purge, I deleted all add-ons.

I just re-install them and no one delete the pocket button :-s

I wasn't talking about add-ons, though, but about antivirus/malware software like CCleaner ..... (as mentioned in that article by Pocket).

Ha ok. No. I'm on Ubuntu and my system is mine. I AM my CCleaner ^_^. No antivirus neither (It's feel bad to write it).

I'm on your side - speaking for myself : With the safest browser on the planet (and in my case my system's built-in security software) :  to me it feels like being in Fort Knox   !

Are you still using the version from the Ubuntu repositories or are you using the version from the Mozilla server?
