Firefox version 38.0.5 (+ all previous versions) Using Windows 7 Home Premium

This is what always appears under my Firefox homepage search box: "It's easy to customize your Firefox exactly the way you want it. Choose from thousands of add-ons."

On other computers I use using Firefox I see FoxYeah and other promotional content. I would like this on my home page as well.

You can check the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref on the about:config page and if necessary reset the pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder.

Close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
