I am having much difficulty using pocket from my email inbox.Exactly how does "Pocket" work, and how do I store items in it?

I get a lot of emails with articles, etc., that tell me I can save them to Pocket, but I don't know how. I've never used Pocket, and cannot figure out how to save those email articles there.

I want to also use Firefox as my default browser, and want to get many things customized, and these questions are only the beginning of my quest to do so. Thanks very much for your assistance.

PS: Above, you can see that I have somehow managed to come up with 2 usernames, and would like to know how to have only ONE, that one being the latter, although the former has been my Firefox username for years, I still would like to finally use John Reese as my permanent username. How would I eliminate one of them altogether?

Hello,

Pocket is a website to save interesting articles, videos and more from the web for later enjoyment. Once saved to Pocket, the list of content is visible on any device — phone, tablet or computer. It can be viewed from your web browser or on your phone or tablet device through the Pocket app.

Here are a few links that you might find useful:

I hope this information is helpful.

Hello, GVW, thank you very much for your reply. I have been so very busy with other things, i.e., around the house, that this is the first time I've been able to get online since your answer was posted. I still have SO MUCH "on my plate", that I won't be able to use the links and advice you have given to me. BUT, rest assured that I will. Until then, thanks again very much. I will be sure and get back to you later on; perhaps later this evening or tomorrow. I am grateful for your help.

Best regards, Tom; aka kleinscmidt

PS: I also have another username here ( on Firefox ), but haven't figured out how to separate or distinguish one from the other. Have you any pointers, or advice that I could perhaps use to differentiate one from the other? kleinscmidt is the username that has always logged me in to Mozilla AND Firefox for years, but I decided a few months ago to begin using the username, johnreese, for Firefox only. However, when I log in to Firefox now, or even open settings>options, at the bottom portion of the drop-down menu, it has a second avatar that I have chosen to use there, and the latter username, Johnreese, but that username will not work for Moziila. I must still always use kleinscmidt there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Tom; aka kleinscmidt AND / OR johnreese>>>LOL! ;>)
