Syncing destroys my homepage every time

On my main laptop I built a nice homepage with shortcuts that I use regularly. I would like this exact homepage on all the devices where I sign in with my Firefox account. Instead, every time I sign into a new device and sync, my homepage is completely destroyed and scrambled on all devices, including my main laptop and I have to painstakingly recreate the homepage I want. What is going wrong here? How can I set up one homepage on one device that will be synced to all other devices?

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Your sites are all pinned right?

Yes, all of them are pinned and have a meaningful name tag that I have given. Which adds to my frustration. On new logins, all sites are unpinned, renamed to the original (usually a short handle of the webpage address) and a mix of sites I want there + sites from my browser history I visit but don't need on the homepage + sponsored sites like Amazon and Adidas although the tick box for sponsored site suggestions is unticked in the settings.
