Attachment: rec of the issue.gif

[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Release 112.0.1 - Build ID: 20230414125621
• Firefox Beta 113.0.b5 - Build ID: 20230418175842
• Firefox Nightly 114.0a1 - Build ID: 20230418213511

[Affected Platforms]:

• Windows 10 x64
• macOS 12.3.1
• Ubuntu 22.04 x64

[Prerequisites]:

• The user should have US, GB, CA or DE locales with VPN in the respective regions.

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open the browser with the profile from the prerequisites.
2. Hover any Sponsored card from the “Recommended by Pocket” section.
3. Observe the behaviour.

[Expected result]:

• “Save” button is displayed on the Sponsored card

[Actual result]:

• “Save” button is not displayed on the Sponsored card

[Regression Window]:

• Considering that on Firefox Release 111 the “Save to Pocket” option was displayed in the context menu for the sponsored “Recommended by Pocket” cards using the mozregression tool I have managed to find a regression window:

It seems that the behaviour was intentionally changed in Bug 1819712, however, we don’t have any information if the “Save” button should be also displayed on the sponsored card or not.

[Notes]:

• "Save to Pocket" option is not displayed in the sponsored cards' context menu.
• “Save” button is displayed on the non-sponsored Recommended by Pocket cards.
• Attached is a screen recording of the issue.

This is the intended behavior. Product/design made the choice not to show a save button on sponsored cards.
