Pocket recommendations using Ubuntu 20.04

Post by robbyx »

Firefox 83 (64bit) is not showing any recommendations from pocket. They used to be part of the home page. Stopped a few days ago. How do I get them back?

Update to the current release (83.0) and try again.

Check these two prefs:
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.topstories
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.system.topstories
