I have verified that switching the "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.topSiteSearchShortcuts" pref to false will hide/disable the @search Top Sites and its respective section context menu option in the latest Nightly (63.0a1, Build ID 20180815225731) on Windows 10, Mac 10.13 and Arch Linux.
