After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.

Firefox 115:

Firefox 139:

You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.

Doesnt the bottom screenshot show a toggle to hide sponsored stories?

The bottom one is literally missing the toggle. You can tell because the word "sponsored" is not there
