I would think this is fixed by https://github.com/mozilla/activity-stream/pull/2611 in the version available in Nightly (tonight/tomorrow).

Marking as Verified as Activity Stream has been transitioned from an addon to a feature build in the browser.
The issue is not reproducible on the current version of the New Tab page.
