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:

The bottom one is literally missing the toggle. You can tell because the word "sponsored" is not there
Oh i thought that Recommended ment sponsored.
