how do i get rid of the sponsored/ suggested tile forever?
The tiles are great but I do not want the suggested or sponsored tile never ever ever EVER. I already contribute financially with Mozilla Foundation and I have no interest in none of those tiles.

Could you try unchecking the "Suggested Sites" checkbox on the new tab page. See: Customize your New Tab page to hide or display content.
Does that do what you want to do?
If Firefox loses that setting at shutdown/startup, please see this article for suggestions: How to fix preferences that won't save.
If you want to remove the sponsored directory links on the about:newtab page then use these steps:
You can set the browser.newtabpage.directory.source pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
- browser.newtabpage.directory.source = <empty>
- browser.newtabpage.directory.ping = <empty>
You can delete the directoryLinks.json file in the parent location of the disk cache to remove the currently stored directory links.
- delete directoryLinks.json
See the about:cache page for the location of the disk cache and go one level up.
"AppData" (XP: Application Data; Mac: ~/Library; Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.
