Now that Firefox includes the proprietary code for "Pocket" should it not be moved to the nonfree repositories?

Forgive my ignorance, but not following on firefox development much since I'm mainly using chrome.

What is packetlist exactly, mind to share some links? quick search didn't show up anything related to mozilla / firefox.

My mistake it should be "Pocket", "Pocket List" is the menu entry.
It was an add on to Firefox for cloud storage that is now built in.

Why they add nonfree code to it can't get that point,there is many other free software services offer same. ?
I now moving my main system to plasma 5 and use too like doktor5000 chrome and long time used qupzilla,have last time used firefox long time ago.

Ok, after some more reading pocket itself is a proprietary service. But the only thing that firefox includes since recently are a few API calls to that service, code which itself is not proprietary (remember firefox is still MPL code, so they can't add proprietary code in there) - cf. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172126

Although if you can point me to the lines where proprietary code was added, we should certainly remove that.
I can take a look if this can already be disabled at build time.

I decided to try firefox find out it runs on my laptop more better than chrome.
Back to topic according to this it's fully opensource mplv2 license so no any proprietary code is added to firefox.
