Overview

  • Pocket service will cease normal operation on July 8, 2025, entering an export-only mode until October 8, 2025, when all user data will be permanently deleted.
  • Fakespot, a browser extension acquired by Mozilla in 2023, will be discontinued on July 1, 2025, due to an unsustainable business model.
  • Paid Pocket subscribers will receive prorated refunds, with monthly plans ending after May 2025 and annual plans running until the shutdown date.
  • Key Pocket features, such as curated content recommendations, bookmarks, and tab groups, will be integrated into Firefox for continued use.
  • The Pocket Hits newsletter will be rebranded as 'Ten Tabs' starting June 17, 2025, maintaining its focus on curated reading recommendations but ending weekend editions.
