Not yet tested (had to clobber), but seems trivial enough that I'm already requesting review.

Dao, could you please fill out the test coverage section? Without that I cannot take this to Beta.

Requesting QE team to do focused testing on all three bugs that were uplifted this week to remove apps from toolbar and about:home.
