When I add these 2 lines, Firefox will not run (the process starts and stops
immediately), even in safe mode:
user_pref("browser.pocket.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.toolbarbuttons.introduced.pocket-button", false);
Removing the 2nd line gives the same results.
Those 2 lines are what gets added to the config when I interactively disable
pocket.
This is with a vanilla 45ESR install.
Here's what I'm using:
Install.cmd:
"%~dp0Firefox Setup 45.0esr.exe" /INI=%~dp0Firefox.ini
if exist "%programfiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0override.ini"
"%programfiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\browser\"
if exist "%programfiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0autoconfig.js"
"%programfiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref"
if exist "%programfiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0mozilla.cfg"
"%programfiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\"
Firefox.ini:

DesktopShortcut=true

Override.ini:
[XRE]

Autoconfig.js:
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

pref("plugins.notifyMissingFlash", false);

lockPref("plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin", true);
clearPref("plugins.update.url");

Normally when we deploy Firefox ESR we have modified some things in the browser
because our management tells us to do so.
In 45, the way Pocket and Search Engines have been implemented is different.
I've made a variety of attempts to disable Pocket and remove all except
google.com and bing.com from the search engine list but have not been
successful.
With 38ESR we were able to simply use userChrome.css to remove Pocket with a
few lines, and remove the search engine .xml files and be done.
How can this be handled with Firefox 45ESR?
You can set the preference pocket.enabled to false and it will disable pocket.
Removing search engines will require some code unfortunately. It was done this
way to prevent search hijacking.
