Here's some example code you could place in AutoConfig to hide search
engines:

You would still need to disable the "Restore Default Search Engines"
button in the Search preferences. You could do that with the Hidden UI
feature in the CCK2 by hiding @restoreDefaultSearchEngines.

Ahha, that wasn’t caught by 3 people. Thanks mike!
As for the search engines, what kind of code are we talking about? If
I just understood what needed to be accomplished I may be able to just
do the coding.
Just based on what I see, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla
Firefox\browser\omni.ja" is a container for these (among other)
settings/files. I opened it up with 7zip hoping that I could just
delete the target .xml files out of the package, but that didn’t work out.

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:

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.
