Comment (by Thorin):

 All new prefs added in FF68

 {{{
 user_pref("extensions.getAddons.discovery.api_url", "");
 user_pref("extensions.htmlaboutaddons.discover.enabled", false);
 user_pref("extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled", false);
 }}}

 This disables recommendations in about:addons' Extensions and Themes panes
 and removes/hides any leftover UI bits and bobs
