I have verified this task, and I can confirm the following:

  • The browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.providers.snippets, browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.snippets, and services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.snippets prefs are no longer displayed in the "about:config" page.
  • The "Snippets" option is no longer displayed in the "about:preferences#home" page.
  • The "snippets_local_testing" and the "snippets" message providers are no longer displayed in the "about:asrouter" page.
  • The "snippet" templates are no longer displayed in the "about:config" asrouter page.
