i have multiple websites saved to my home screen. Every time i have to update FF, i lose all the saved websites on my home screen. Then I have to go back into bookmarks, open every website I had previously saved and re-save them to my home screen. This takes about an hour as I have many sites i visit. This is extremely annoying and is pushing me to find another browser that this does not happen with. I have been using FF for years and don't want to switch but this is ridiculous!! Surely there is a fix or work around.

Only just came across the question now, but I thought I would post an answer.

That must be annoying. Firefox should not do that and does not do that for me or the vast majority of users.

When Firefox updates you should not lose tabs that are set on your Homepage, or tabs that you have open. If as appears to be the case you are talking about the tabs set as homepages then thy are listed in an about:config preference and you may save that which makes it a few seconds of a job to reinstate them. The tabs will also be listed on the Troubleshooting information page (but not sure if that could truncate the listing if you have a lot.)

I may not know what caused your problem and may not be able to solve it, but that may be a workround that saves you an hour.
