Yes.

Mozilla shows rotating snippets on the about:home page to run different campaigns and these changes regularly. You can consider to set another page as the home page for now or you can wait until this campaign ends.

You can use these alternative steps to disable and remove snippets on the about:home page:

• Set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page
• Open the about:home page in a tab
• Open Web Console in this tab (Firefox menu button or Tools > Web Developer)
  https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
• Run this command via the command prompt of the Web Console:
  gSnippetsMap.clear()
• Close the tab with the about:home page
• Close and restart Firefox

If you mouse over the donation message, an "X" close button appears at its upper right. I had to click it three times to stop the message from returning.

It appears with a donation message if snippets are working normally. I guess you blocked that part.

Note that the close X is further up.

This JavaScript code in the Web Console (Firefox menu button or Tools > Web Developer) will block this specific snippet: gSnippetsMap.set('blockList',[5513,5508,5520]);

You can clear the blocklist via:

gSnippetsMap.set('blockList',[]); // clear blocklist
gSnippetsMap.get('blockList'); // check blocklist

Thanks for the help. If I update to Version 43.0.1 will i have these snippets back? Is there any way to see what Version 43.0.1 looks like before install?

No, that fund raising promotion ended a few days ago.
