Mozilla has announced it will make the browser add supported in future releases. This appears to be a bug in he direction of the browser, please fix it so that it does not appear as expected.

Thanks.

Sorry but don't see any phrase that talks about bug fixes in there

There wouldn't be. I was stating that the "bug" was within the decision process, and the "Fix" would be to not include advertisements in Firefox as described as directory tiles in the article.

Looks that this is about the New Tab page (about:newtab) that will have empty tiles filled with some sponsored websites when they are still empty on a first start.
You won't get new ads once the are filled with visited sites or if you set the new tab page to something other than the about:newtab page.

This is something similar to the snippets that you see on the about:home page.
