STR:
1. download a mac en-US build and extract/copy the application from the dmg
2. in finder, right-click -> Show Package Contents 
3. go into Contents then Resources
4. create a new folder named `distribution` and open it
5. create/copy in a new file `policies.json` (attached), so there should now be a `Nightly.app/Contents/Resources/distribution/policies.json` with:
```json
{
  "policies": {
    "FirefoxHome": {
      "Pocket": false
    }
  }
}
```
6. open the application with a new profile
7. open a new tab (probably already showing about:home)

expected: no pocket section shown

actual: pocket section shown

Probably good to just double check that about:config shows `browser.search.region` as `US`. Note: this bug only happens on the first run as once the region pref is set, subsequent starts of Firefox will correctly hide the pocket section.

For windows, I believe `distribution` directory goes next to `firefox.exe` and similarly on linux, `distribution` goes next to `firefox-bin`
