I installed a barcode / QR scanner/reader that never ever does anything automatically. It displays the decoded content and a menu of some applications (guessed from content) and you can copy/paste the decoded text into anything.

However there should never be only a QR code, there should be the text too.

Edit:
I don't use Pocket and was removing it from the Browser tool bar even before Firefox bought it. It gives too much info to 3rd parties. I copy & paste into a text editor or word processor, clean up, perhaps combine several sites and make an epub with Calibre from an extra docx save.
