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.

I dont get it. Your screenshots show an option to remove stories. What's the issue here?

Not possible to hide sponsored stories or sponsored shortcuts

Doesnt the bottom screenshot show a toggle to hide sponsored stories?
