"Both Linux Mint 17.3 "Rosa" editions ship with the same improvements for some of the operating system's core components and in-house built apps, such as Software Sources, which is now more reliable, responsive, and fast, Update Manager, which can perform more checks, Driver Manager, which is now more robust, and Login Screen."

Mozilla got paid to include Pocket in Firefox? by Anonymous Coward · 2015-12-05 02:45 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Yeah, this Linux Mint stuff is interesting, but there may be bigger news that Slashdot should be reporting about.
I have no idea if it's true or not, but I've just read an article that alleges that Mozilla has received financial compensation relating to the inclusion of Pocket into Firefox, despite repeated denials that money was involved.
Can anyone shed some light on what the actual situation is? Clearly there's contradictory information out there, so we need to get to the facts, instead of dealing with speculation and confusion. This is where Slashdot could really do the right thing, to help us get to the bottom of this story.
