[Notes]:

• This issue is not reproducible if the “browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.sections.cards.enabled” pref is set to “false”.
• In case of non-sponsored cards this option is doubled as the “Save to Pocket” button is displayed while hovering the card.

[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Beta 134.0b1, BUILD ID: 20241125200000.
• Firefox Nightly 135.0a1, BUILD ID: 20241125205949.

[Affected Platforms]:

• Windows 10.
• Ubuntu 22.04.
• macOS 14.7.1.

[Prerequisites]:

• Have a new profile with the “browser.search.region” pref from the “about:config” page set to any region where Pocket is available.
• In the same profile, have the “browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.sections.cards.enabled” pref from the “about:config” page set to “true”.
• Use a VPN connection in the same region in order to get sponsored cards.

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open the browser with the profile from the prerequisites.
2. Open a new tab page.
3. Hover a sponsored or non-sponsored card and click the contextual menu button.
4. Observe the options available in the contextual menu.

[Expected result]:

• “Save to Pocket” option is not displayed for either card type.

[Actual result]:

• “Save to Pocket” option is available for both sponsored and non-sponsored cards.

[Additional Notes]:

• Attached screenshots of the issue.
• This is not a regression and it's been an issue ever since the new UI was implemented.
