Setting browser.pocket.enabled to False in about:config is not enough.

How do I remove "view Pocket List" menu entry in "Bookmarks"?
This depends on the version of Firefox you are running.
Firefox 38.0.5+
New versions of Firefox (38.0.5 and up) have Pocket built into the toolbar and bookmark menu. If you prefer not to use Pocket for Firefox, follow these steps to disable it.
Remove Pocket from your toolbar or menu
Removing Pocket from your toolbar or menu will disable it:
Right-click on the Pocket icon
.
Select "Remove from Toolbar".
Older versions of Firefox
Add the following code to the userChrome.css file.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#menu_pocket, #menu_pocketSeparator,
#BMB_pocket, #BMB_pocketSeparator {
display:none !important;
}

The preferred way to disable Pocket is to keep browser.pocket.enabled set to true and move the Pocket toolbar button to the Customize palette (right-click: Remove from Toolbar/Menu).
The Pocket code only adds the menu items if the button is not in the customize palette.

Thanks for this (partial?) solution. The problem is that the current code only hides the menu item, it does not disable the menu item. If anybody knows how to kill this "pocket" invasion completely, please write! Aug 10, 2015 at 0:29

To add, with the latest Firefox (44.0.2) no custom JS is needed, the quickest way is to right-click the toolbar button as described in support.mozilla.org/kb/disable-pocket-firefox Feb 29, 2016 at 11:30
I am using version 46 of Firefox but it's the same in versions 44 and 45. There are two "pockets" in Firefox. One is an 'add-on' on the Firefox toolbar on the right of the address bar, and the red "pocket" icon displayed on the Bookmarks menu as shown in the question on top of this page.
The toolbar 'add-on' icon can be dragged off the toolbar in "customize" mode. The Bookmarks display can be removed in the configuration menu. To access this menu, type 'about:config' the address bar. Then, type 'pocket' in the configuration page search bar. This lists all entries containing the word 'pocket'. On the list, find the this entry:
extensions.pocket.enabled = true
Double click it to change its value from 'true' to 'false'. This will remove the pocket from the Bookmarks menu.
In about:config go to browser.uiCustomization.state and right-click/Modify. Navigate to "bookmarks-menu-button" and delete the pocket entry following including the parentheses and following comma. Reload and "view pocket list" will be gone.
To permanently eliminate pocket,while you are in config, search "pocket" Modify/delete all strings in string keys.(especially get.pocket) Toggle all Boolean keys to False. Pocket is gone and won't come back unless you update/re-install FF.
