Find a way to reliably disable Google Analytics one the about:addons page. Seems like old (restartless) extensions work there, but new webextensions do not. So using uBlock for this is no option as they will need to upgrade to webextensions, when mozilla removes the APIs for more powerful extensions.

extensions.webservice.discoverURL may help.

kill the url and hide the panel - make users visit AMO directly

user_pref("extensions.getAddons.showPane", false); // hidden pref
user_pref("extensions.webservice.discoverURL", "");
