Steps to reproduce:

Nothing, I just opened new tab today (without even restarting the browser) and they were there

Actual results:

Two new items (Amazon and eBay) appeared in front of my farourites tiles in start page

Expected results:

No new items should be appended... d'oh

Hi wojtek,
I believe what you see are the Sponsored Tiles, to disable them, please follow the guideline offered in: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sponsor-privacy.

Flags: needinfo?(wojtek)

Yes, those are Sponsored Tiles. From what I gather this is something new. I generally don't mind adding such options/features but it would be nice to prompt for user confirmation before just enabling it by default (e.g. after the restart a small pop-up "do you mind enabling sponsored tiles that helps us grow?")
