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

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