Say what you will about Firefox, but they do make it super easy to disable this nonsense.

- Options -> Home -> Firefox Home Content -> Uncheck everything

I personally leave "Web Search" enabled, which gives a Chrome-like/minimalist experience.

Good advice. I just figured this out on my own, and thought it was reasonably easy enough. (You can also fiddle in about:config or click on the hamburger menu in about:home)

Switch to a privacy-friendly search engine like DuckDuckGo while you're at it.
