How can I dissable 'sponsored' tiles?

With the new Firefox we got the very unwanted sponsored tiles. There were about 10 tiles that were placed for me. Some of them were even animated. Some nice spam right in your face on a screen you use regularly.

There is a' gears' icon where you can say the page should go back to classic mode. But this doesn't do anything for me. The 'way to many tiles screen' with the sponsored tiles stay on the page (even after restarts).

There is a option disable, but this just makes the screen blank.

The solution I'm looking for is to restore the ' new tab screen' as it was with 9 tiles (15 is way to much) without tiles being pushed by Mozilla.

I have clicked the 'X' on the spam tiles and had to remove quiet some tiles before they stopped comming. But I fear (and I think I'm right here) that when new companies pay Mozilla to spam their users that the new tile will come on my screen. because it is added later and pushed to my screen.

Mozilla, stop herrassing your user base before they walk away.

Try this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/

Or fiddle with the about:config prefs. browser.newtabpage.columns browser.newtabpage.rows
