Firefox previously integrated the service by using an add-on but Mozilla has now added Pocket as a regular Firefox feature. Currently the service, part of Firefox Accounts, is only available in English, Japanese, German, Russian and Spanish versions of the browser.

The browser developer has also made improvements to the Reader View in the most recent stable version of Firefox, version 38.0.5. With this feature articles can be displayed without the original design of the web page which should make texts better readable. Mozilla has improved the design of Reader View slightly, according to the release notes.

Mozilla has also added a feature to the Hello video chat service. This service was introduces several versions ago and allows users to make phone and video calls from the browser. The latest release of Firefox adds Screen Sharing, a feature that allows users to share a tab or screen during a videochat.
