New logo at top of home page. What's the quickest/easiest way to get rid of it ?

Rant: Why did someone think it was a good idea to put a massive logo at the top of the home page ? It serves no practical purpose and it forces link icons down so you now have to scroll "!!"!! There's always ******* one isn't there !!? - someone with a crap idea who thinks the world needs to see it. How many hrs worldwide is going to be wasted today by people like me trying to undo this crud ? This isn't the first time some ignorant little ******* has forced their crap on firefox end users.

You can look at this pref on the about:config page.

  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.logowordmark.AlwaysVisible = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Cheers Cor-el, fingers crossed it stays gone now: with the last intrusive unwanted UI mod they removed the config options which initially solved the problem and I ultimately had to use userChrome.css to fix it. I really can't understand how this **** happens - only a rank amateur or a complete **** head would think it ok to do this but THEN, presumably, someone further up the chain who should know better clears the change. Anyway, thanks for taking the time / posting the answer.
