I received the same hint, privately, from Pocket Support in response to
<https://twitter.com/pocketsupport/status/1199323725465837570> – "… a
way to manually force them to show on locales that are not supported by

Cool. Good to know that there's no interference.
(Removal of functionality, such as Pocket, is my only complaint about
development of Waterfox Current.)

No VPN.
browser.search.region was the magic ingredient. Thanks!
Previously set to GB. Changing to US then quitting Firefox was enough to
enable recommendations – including sponsored content – for the next run
of Firefox.
browser.search.countryCode did not exist, I can get recommendations
without it.
I'll make Pocket Support aware of the gap in their advice.
With the appearance of sponsored content: I can add a closing note under
<https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/pocket-forcing-appearance-of-sponsored-content/28324/11?u=grahamperrin>
The more interesting private part(s) of the response from Pocket, I'll
keep private …
