After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.

Firefox 115:

Firefox 139:

You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.

Librewolf is the best IMO. If u want persistent logins u gotta go change the sheetings not to wipe everything tho.

Note that for me Librewolf breaks several sites, sadly

I've found u they aren't broken if u spoof a chromium user agent
