Mark articles to read them later in Firefox using Read It Later

While surfing internet we come over many articles which we find interesting but are not in a situation to read them at that moment. Obviously we cannot remember the URL's of all the articles we come across and hence the only option with us is bookmarking such articles. Read It Later for Firefox helps us with not bookmarking such articles and adding them to Firefox for temporary time till they are read.
