If I may add something to the topic, I noticed that "search" icon in about:newtab URL bar added in bug 1390359 has opposite design to the "search" icon in search bar above site tiles (activity-stream disabled). 
about:home is using the same search bar icon design as about:newtab.
To me it looks a bit inconsistent, but to be fair there are more search bars across browser, and as far as I can see only about:home and about:newtab main search bars are using different icon. 
about:home will be basically first time where both designs will be in use by default, so perhaps it's worth to consider some alignments (if it was not intentional).

Looks good to me! I'm glad this removes the initIdentityBlock hack I had to introduce in bug 1372518 (and even happier that I'm seeing this patch before filing a bug on this 'Nightly' block sometimes flickering again in the current nightly, probably regressed by bug 1054740).
