Please add HiDPI versions of the directory tiles. The current versions of the images have low quality for users with HiDPI displays, especially the Mozilla tile doesn't look great.

We could package up multiple images for high and low DPI but that creates a larger payload for everyone. Similarly we could deliver only the high DPI to everyone and scale it down but again that's a larger payload than required for many users.
I think the approach we might take here is to have Firefox choose the required size it needs or send its dpi in the request for tile images. As we align with Firefox on Android we'll need this kind of system for the various DPI values there anyway.

Probably worth noting that there are more density 'buckets' than simply 'high' and 'low' on Android. For instance, we currently cover medium, high, x-high, and xx-high. We should probably provide the device's DPI as an argument to the directory tiles service and let the server figure out which image is more appropriate for the given device.

resolved by replacing the old new tab page with the activity stream.
