Why are you forcing your users to read the stuff at the bottom of the screen

All of a sudden you've started posting messages at the bottom of the screen. Nobody asked for these messages so why add them ? I'm sure they slow Firefox down. At the very least there should be an option in the settings to turn this rubbish off. People want a fuss free web browser, if this is from an addon then delete the addon - it's annoying and has echoes of Microsoft trying to bully it's users.

Hello, you can turn these off like so, on the new tab page, there should be a cog wheel in the upper right hand corner, click on that, and then uncheck 'Snippets' - as well as any other additional content you do not wish to see on your new tab page.

If this solved your problem, please mark as solution. Thank you!
