I have verified that the UTM parameter mentioned in the description is correctly displayed if the "Similar Stories" websites located in the "Save to Pocket" doorhanger are opened.
I've done the verification with both a standard Pocket account and a premium Pocket account using Firefox Nightly 83.0a1 (Build ID: 20201006041051) on Windows 10 x64, macOS 10.15.6, and Ubuntu Linux 20.04 x64.
