How do I get rid of the Google malware at the top of my New Tab Page?
I recently installed the latest Aurora version of FF, and to my horror I realized there is now an ugly megacorporation's logo at the top of my New Tab Page.
Clearly this is some kind of malware, or some setting that needs to be turned off... I looked in the Customization category but I haven't found anything about this yet. Is there a setting in about:config?

Also apparently there will be ads in the New Tab Page but that's another terrifying question for another day.

That is a new feature for the NewTab page on Firefox 31+ versions.
You can use this UserStyle - https://userstyles.org/styles/103765/fx-31-about-newtab-hide-the-search-bar - to hide that search container after installing the Stylish extension.
Add code to the userContent.css file.
@-moz-document url(about:newtab){
#newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container {display:none!important}
}
The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
- Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
- Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
- Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

That's pretty awesome. I don't know what advantage it has over Styler yet (besides avoiding the need for an extra plugin/RAM usage), but I'll have to keep it in mind.
