Why do you have such large ad promoting Firefox for Apple as it pushes control panel off the screen?

Recently, Firefox has been running oversize promotions/ads (most recently for "Apple Fans") on browser page. This results in control buttons at bottom being pushed off the page. One now has to scroll down to click any of these buttons. A simpler ad, in smaller font would catch attention of relevant users. Just don't see the point of this. For those who remove cookies after visit to any site, this is just a bit more (unnecessary) work.

Hi MattLazarus, 

         Since Firefox is spreading its reach to different platforms it is natural for us to share the news about it to the world.This ad won't be there for a long time.Sorry for your inconvenience.

MattLazarus,

Please provide feedback about that issue here: https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback

Personally, I have modified Firefox to "lock" about:home from being changed by these 'promotions' from Mozilla. I had to open an unmodified Profile to view what you are seeing. IMO, they have exceeded what should be the permissible size for those "snippets", which should never force the "launcher" off the bottom of the screen or shift into having a scrollbar.
