 Firefox 45 ESR includes Pocket client code and UI. We may want to remove
 it, since it encourages use of a third party service that we do not know
 much about.

 Maybe all we need to do is set extensions.pocket.enabled = false to
 disable it.

 It is also worth noting that for Firefox 46, the Pocket code has been
 pulled out of the core browser and moved to a system extension (see
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215694)
