User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 Build ID: 20141011074935 Steps to reproduce: - Change the new tab page from enhanced to classic - Manually delete all shows tiles by clicking the 'x' - clear all history, data, cachce, etc. (all options checked) Actual results: After normal browsing and cleaning of history, the new tab page, in classic mode will still display a few sponsored tiles. CVS seems to be the one that keeps popping up, but I've seen others. Expected results: Classic mode on the new tab page should result in NO ADS. This is a bit of an annoyance, but possibly a privacy concern as well. For the time being, I've switched to the ESR channel where this feature has not been released.
