Performing housecleaning in about:config this came up and didn't make any sense.
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.region-stories-block
Why would it block an individual region? in this case FR France.
Standard setup is Newtabpage is disabled on this and other systems with Firefox
What's the deal with blocked region?
