Pocket is now integrated into Firefox. How do I download my Pocket List for offline reading on a PC?
Pocket is now integrated into Firefox Quantum, yet apparently to download your list for offline viewing on a PC, one has to INSTALL CHROME(browser)?? I'd also like to be able to use keyboard shortcuts to "save" a page or "save all" pages to my list. I used Pocket religiously when it was first released as Read It Later, I paid for it as an app on my android phone and iPad when it still cost money. But my long-time use of their service ended a year or so ago in favor of simpler options, but I'd be willing to give Pocket another look. Once upon a time, all the features I've described, (save for offline viewing & keyboard shortcuts) were things I regularly made use of via Pocket on Firefox, hopefully there is a way to make these things work, or there are plans in place to actually complete this integration with Firefox without having to use another browser.

Yup, I already read all those links. The OFFLINE VIEWING is key to my requirements, otherwise Pocket for Firefox is just a glorified bookmarking app (with the added "bonus" of mining my data for article suggestions, which seems antithetical to Mozilla's Mission and their stance on Privacy and Security, but I digress)
Per your link: "Saving to and accessing your Pocket list on Firefox requires an Internet connection. Offline viewing is possible on other devices with the Pocket App"
That article links to the article: https://help.getpocket.com/article/1136-using-pocket-offline which states: "Using Pocket Offline on your Computer
When you’re on your computer, you can access Pocket while offline using one of two apps: Pocket for Mac, and the Pocket Chrome App which is compatible with Windows, Linux and Chrome OS. With these apps, Pocket supports offline downloading of articles so you can access your saved items and read the without an Internet connection."
As stated in my original question, I want to be able to save pages to read offline WITHIN Firefox, something that was possible in the past with the Pocket add-on in Firefox.
Apparently, now if I want to read pages OFFLINE ON MY PC, I can save them to my Pocket LIST using Firefox, and then go through the trouble and major hassle of opening Chrome to carry out the steps to download my List for offline viewing on my PC. It's not real "integrated" when one of Pocket's hallmark features requires downloading a competing browser to fully function. I shouldn't have to also run Google Chrome to save things for offline viewing on my PC, when that USED TO be an available feature in Pocket for Firefox and STILL IS an available feature in the Chrome Extension. As far as I can find in their documentation, Pocket for Firefox is just a glorified bookmarking app, unless someone can share instructions for downloading my Pocket List with Firefox.
