Do you mean the snippets that you see on the about:home Home page?


You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userContent.css

@-moz-document url(about:home){
/* hide snippet container on the about:home page */
#snippetContainer { display: none !important; }
}

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
