More Information
What is Superstart favorites? A Firefox add-on? Is your question even related to Firefox?
Does that extension still show as installed and enabled?
- Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.
Question owner
The above was a bit complicated as far as getting to the registry files, so instead I went to add-on and selected "Options" and selected Superstart as the Homepage and that brought all of the Superstart favorites back...thank you.
