Basically reverts bug 1149682.

For uplift to 39, we'll want to only allow sponsored for en-US as we don't have strings to correctly show sponsored tiles for non-en-US, and we'll want Firefox to keep filtering out the sponsored suggested tiles.

Ed, why are there different patches for nightly, aurora, and beta on this batch of bugs for uplift? They seem the same on the couple of bugs I looked at.

The nightly and aurora patches are the same. Beta is different because we only want to turn on sponsored suggested tiles for en-US. This is because we're only beta uplifting strings for en-US to not break string freeze.

Are there string changes for some of these for aurora? Changing strings on aurora also breaks the string freeze. 

This is one of the questions that filling out the approval request form would answer.
