The Firefox Logo on New Tabs is back (Dammit) on release 136.0, and it makes my shortcut icons smaller. On the previous release, I could remove it by going to settings... and Unchecking the box allowing Studies. That doesn't work now.

logo still here on FF 141. None of the solutions posted above worked.

I have variant-b, both are false. Restart, still the logo is there.

According to your screenshot, you have manually added the preference.
Behind a preference there is a script, no corresponding script, the preference doesn't work.

I did not add them (I don't know how to do that). I searched for variant-b and it showed me those two.

Some other posts mention just "variant" but I don't have that.

Finally unphucked the last update.
Switched to ESR, disabled updates for the time being, added switch "--Allow-Downgrade", but got the the "This profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile." nag popup,
had to edit profiles.ini and installs.ini in the appdata roaming folder to refer to the install prior to upgrade.
This was a PIA.
I moved all our fam systems OFF the global platform and onto ESR to avoid this misdirected and repetitive jerking around the UI of NewTab.
Those that have commented on how these constant efforts to dictate the appearance of the NewTab page without user's ability to intervene will only aggravate users are 100% correct.

So, now we're at release 141 and Mozilla has done it to us again. Same problem as before, Firefox logo on New Tabs and smaller shortcut icons. Why, pray tell, would you people do this to us? Who in the world thinks this is a good idea? I've been a good user. I have contributed to Mozilla, and I recommend it to my friends.
