Steps to Reproduce
- Open Firefox
- Open New Tab page
- Scroll down to Recommended by Pocket article
- Tap overflow menu (Android)
- Look for "Dismiss" option

These need to be separate bugs. Firefox for Android is in maintenance mode. I doubt that this would be changed for Android.

Hello, having another button to dismiss the context menu on iOS seems rather pointless. You can easily tap outside the context menu to dismiss it on iOS. This is how the context menu works on iPad and it's very intuitive for iOS users.
Olivia, do you think this can be closed?
Thanks, all! This ticket refers to dismissing an article from view to see a new one, not dismissing to close a context menu.

Firefox for Android is getting maintenance only fixes at this time. There is a separate app that is being worked on at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix it does not have pocket articles currently. You can install the pocket app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ideashower.readitlater.pro or browse to https://getpocket.com/explore/trending
