That was my immediate reaction, too.
I guess for me the difference is that if my firefox account goes away tomorrow, it is an issue I can resolve by making a new one. It's annoying but it doesn't concern anyone but me.
Losing access to my gmail address because of some youtube fuckup, now there's something that disrupts my communications with others and is hard to recover from.

#5This is disappointing. I love Pocket but I don't trust Mozilla, I will not use a Firefox account, and this ends my subscription.

Cheers to consumer choice!

Pocket has been owned by Mozilla since 2017; why didn’t you end your subscription then?

Well, it sounds like it's still going to have extensions for all the other browsers. Im not sure if the integration is changing other than the auth method to pocket.
I'd rather it not become any more integrated, I just want to browse the web and use extensions for additions like this.

#9Even though I have a firefox account, I'm glad I have moved off Pocket (to Readwise Reader).
I don't want all my accounts joined. I don't want a threat model where being locked out of one service takes down everything, especially when that service has no support. This applies to gmail and Mozilla equally.

What's there to integrate, really? You click a button, the URL of your current opened page is transmitted to their service along with your user ID, they scrape the page content, and voila.
