mozilla: advertising you can't turn off

Time for IceCat to be included in distributions, it seems.

Thanks for pressing this issue. Maybe we can at least improve the default behavior for users of Debian and Iceweasel, if not all users of Firefox.

Which of the following does 'trust bleeding away' refer to?

1 [ ] the very existence of sponsored tiles (adsinnewtabs)
2 [ ] enhanced (ie adsinnnewtabs) is the default config
3 [ ] classic (ie no adsinnewtabs) was shipped with a bug causing it to show adsinnewtabs
4 [ ] opaque lawyer/PR documentation
5 [ ] other

Bug seems to have been reported at least at 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1103599 with only WFM responses.

IIUC classic mode should not display ads: "Classic to show only unenhanced History Tiles" says https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-tiles-work-firefox
