I just want to confirm that I'm not missing something that would trivially fix my current irritant.

I finally updated my plugins today (last was maybe August) and after replacing everything on my reader for unrelated reasons, I noticed the super irritating tiles were back, only now I'm not seeing the option to Dismiss Tiles. I have applied at least one firmware update since then (most recently to 4.25.15875).

Am I interpreting your comment below correctly that the option is no longer visible for the current version of the firmware, but if I rolled that back (assuming I can figure that out), then I would be able to dismiss the tiles?
As you list your device as a Libra H2O, you cannot ever have seen the tiles that these function are for. This was for firmware before version 4.4.0 which had a completely different home screen. On that, the tiles changed and were not in the fixed positions that the current home screen has. These tiles could be dismissed. The function in the plugin could set tiles not to be shown. But, it does not work with the current home screen.

The only way to remove the tiles on the current home screen is with patches. If you patch the firmware, it has to be done each time the firmware is updated.
