Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What's next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type "McDonald's" before I can actually navigate there?

Cool. Willing to say how or is that a secret?
No problem!
Firefox Desktop: Settings - Home panel - uncheck "Sponsored shortcuts" box.
Firefox Mobile: Settings - Homepage - uncheck "Sponsored shortcuts" box.
It's a secret reserved for smart people
it's a secret only those who dare venture into the scary "settings menu" can learn about it. most don't come back alive.

In Settings > Home, there's a Sponsored Shortcuts checkbox.
