Default "favorites" keep coming back after removal.

When I first installed Firefox on my Fire TV there were 10 "favorites" tiles pre-populated. I added a favorite site I actually wanted, then thought it would be more convenient for that to be the first favorite and proceeded to delete the other 10 (things like flickr, fandango, youtube, etc.) The next time I started the app, 9 of the 10 favorites I'd previously deleted were back. I've repeated this cycle multiple times, but the 9 favorites constantly re-appear, and always in the 1-9 spots, forcing the single actual favorite I wanted (and a site I go to every day) to be the very last on the list.

How do I fix this??

Update: I tested a hypothesis and was successful. It seems like the app wants there to be 10 favorites, so when I deleted them down to just 1 it added 9 back. I added 4 new bookmarks and deleted the defaults again and now it's only adding 5 back instead of 9; keeping it at 10 total.

It's dumb; and putting the add-ons to the front of the ones the user actually added is a really poor programming choice, IMO. But at least now I know how to get my choice bookmark up to the #1 spot.
