Who defines what is clean? I removed the icon after first use as well but it seems to be a feature people wanted to have. Even if those were different people as subscribed here.

It is subjective, But... a line is crossed when what is packaged directs you to a 3rd party site to create a new account and divulge yet more personal information, which without any stretch of the imagination, will lead to yet more unwelcome and unwanted spam, subject you (knowingly in this case) to yet more collection of your browsing habits, (and god knows what else in the unknowing part). It just strikes me as utterly arrogant for an open-source project, and the developers in particular, to stray so far from what the core of a project was to be choosing for me what add-ons I have on my tool bar. We are all big boys and girls and are all well aware of where to get add-ons for Firefox should we choose to. No one should have to dig through about:config to turn off add-ons that they did not want or choose to install. (by the way) about:config browser.pocket.enabled;false browser.toolbarbuttons.introduced.pocket-button;false At the very least, when FF reaches this level of bloat, it would make a whole lot of sense (and probably reduce the number of Crash Reporter reports to zero) if Firefox was split into: MozillaFirefox-core MozillaFirefox-addons which would end up with greatly improved performance for Firefox-core that no longer consumes 4-18% of the CPU at idle. It would not surprise me at all if split packages looked something like: MozillaFirefox-core 8.4 M MozillaFirefox-addons 29.0 M -- David C.
