Updating this to include all Pocket section footer work, including changes to the privacy link location and the "this is part of the Pocket family" blerb.

To test:

1. Set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.newFooterSection.enabled to true
2. Open a new newtab
3. Expected: should see a new topics section with 7 topics and a more link.
   4 Expected: links should click and work.
4. Expected: Privacy link should now be at the bottom of the page, centred.
5. Expected: Should also see a "Part of the firefox family" type section next to 2 logos under the topics section.
6. Turn off the new pref, and open a new newtab
7. Expected: Should go back to the old topics section.

I tested this enhacement on Firefox 94(20211028161635), Firefox 98(20220304153049) and Nightly 99.0a1(20220307190508). Based on comment 3, the footer is displayed as expected, but the links from step 3 are not working. This seems to be an issue even if browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.newFooterSection.enabled is set back to false. I'm leaving a link for a recording of this issue for more clarity.

Looking at that video, it looks like something was wrong with getpocket.com, and not the links on newtab.

They work for me now, maybe it's fixed now for you too? Mind trying again?

I tested again on Firefox 94(20211028161635), Firefox 99.0b1(20220308094525) and Nightly 100.0a1(20220308220159). I covered macOS 11, Linux(Ubuntu 20.04) and Win10 64-bit. The links work perfectly now and everything is placed accordingly based on your comment.
Thank you!
