Where are you adding user_pref?
That style doesn't work in Autoconfig.
pref() is for user prefs.
defaultPref() is for default prefs.

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 2^nd 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\"

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.
