I set the following in my user.js to disable this kind of thing. It keeps my default search engine suggestions but disables all the junk. Strictly speaking I think the last line is technically redundant as quicksuggest.all=false should disable .sponsored as well but no harm in being explicit about it.
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.engines", false);
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.openpage", false);
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites", false);
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.quickactions", false);
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.recentsearches", false);
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.quicksuggest.all", false);
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.quicksuggest.sponsored", false);

- nxtbl 18d agoEdit within the browser via about:config or add them in the user.js file, easier to make it permanent and portable
- grimgrin 18d agoas the other comment said, you can put in user.js but more specifically, that goes in the root of wherever your profile is. for me, that is: /home/<user>/.mozilla/firefox/<name>/user.js this file doesn't exist by default, there's caveats with how it is overwritten, etc. i don't know much
- akimbostrawman 18d agoim glad every update i don't have to nanny my "private" browser with obscure config changes to sell me out by using a actual private browser such as librewolf and mullvad browser
- optimisticedits 18d agoSheesh. I'm surprised nobody announced how difficult it is to toggle some checkboxes for disabling the completely unintrusive crypto features of Brave in this thread.
- akimbostrawman 18d agoi was gonna make a joke that its because brave devs are "literally hitler" for HN but you getting downvoted for this just makes my point for me
