I have tested this report using the latest Nightly from 8/8/2018 on Windows 10 x64. I did not manage to reproduce the mentioned behavior. When an article is Saved to Pocket and later dismissed, it disappeared from the "Recommended by Pocket" section. 

Could you re-test using the latest Nightly build and report back the result?

I am still seeing the issue, even with 63.0a1 (2018-08-13).

Here's the specific build of Windows 10 I'm on:

    jbowen> [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version

    Major  Minor  Build  Revision
    -----  -----  -----  --------
    10     0      17134  0

Are there any logs/configuration details that would be useful in troubleshooting this?

The recent activity on this prompted me to try saving an article to Pocket and subsequently dismissing it again and as of 68.0a1 (2019-04-17) (64-bit), it's working as expected.

I'm not sure when it started working again.

FWIW, I'm also now on a different build of Windows 10:

jbowen> [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------

The issue is not reproducible if Discovery Stream is enabled (browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.config set to {"api_key_pref":"extensions.pocket.oAuthConsumerKey","collapsible":true,"enabled":true,"show_spocs":true,"personalized":false,"layout_endpoint":"https://getpocket.cdn.mozilla.net/v3/newtab/layout?version=1&consumer_key=$apiKey&layout_variant=basic"}), but it is still reproducible on the default experience.

Just confirming that I do have browswer.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.config set to

{
  "api_key_pref":    "extensions.pocket.oAuthConsumerKey",
  "collapsible":     true,
  "enabled":         true,
  "show_spocs":      true,
  "personalized":    false,
  "layout_endpoint": "https://getpocket.cdn.mozilla.net/v3/newtab/layout?version=1&consumer_key=$apiKey&layout_variant=basic"
}

That being said, I don't know what series of actions I took to end up with that configuration.

It seems like @Ciprian has already pinned down what is necessary to reproduce this issue, so this is just confirmation.

I also run Fedora Rawhide and on it I am still seeing the behavior that I described in my first post.

Here's browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.config:

FWIW, I am no longer experiencing this behavior with Nightly on Windows or stable on Linux.
