Button to disable "Thought-provoking stories" (pocket?) missing

more options

Hi, I want to disable the "Thought-provoking stories" shortcuts from the home / new tab page on Android.

Following the other forum posts and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hide-pocket-recommendations-firefox there should be a switch for "Thought-provoking stories" under Settings - Homepage - Shortcuts, but I don't see it. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

Hi Khalid,

did you see my attached screenshot? The switch doesn't exist in my app.

However, the Thought-provoking stories have since disappeared on their own. I don't think it was any additional setting I changed.
