Based on changes in bug 1021654, we'll want to remotely host the js, html, css that will be fetched, populated, and loaded for about:newtab
Summary: Host about:newtab content (html, js, css) → Host about:newtab layout (html, js, css)
Part of this includes porting the existing localized strings to be hosted as well

The current thinking is to statically generating a few html pages and hosting those on a CDN.

This would be very similar work to fhr-jelly
In a related note to bug 1180291, the pages will be hosted in a way that the url will embed the desired locale, as well as the version of the newtab capabilities.

For instance, a potential URL could be:

https://tiles.cdn.mozilla.net/newtabs/v1/en-US/index.html
Depends on: 1186121
Assignee: nobody → oyiptong
url for initial landing set to: https://newtab.cdn.mozilla.net/v0/nightly/en-US/index.html
