There was an early posting to this list on this subject that referenced 
the bug <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1528082>

I would also like to know how this is going to be handled in ESR 68 and 
whether or not it can be disabled

We can not have users moving from ESR 60 to ESR 68, or between different 
subsequent releases of ESR and have them 'losing' bookmarks, setting etc ...

Thanks
