Comment:

 Ok, I think I agree about about:tor being non-ideal. Also, disabling the
 newtab tiles completely is bad for people who store disk records. Also,
 yes, blank entries caused error console noise.

 I set these fetch urls to data uris and fixed the check in
 browser/modules/DirectoryLinksProvider.jsm and pushed this for 5.0-next.
 It seems to preserve the old 'classic' about:newtab behavior now, with
 disk records either enabled or disabled. Closing.
