That happens only in upgrade from 60 to 68 (in my experience). If you
change them after upgrade they stay as you set them. I think this is a
bug in upgrade where that setting overrides user set homepage. Kind of
"first use" case when it isn't that in reality. Could be related to that
new profile for each install.
Anyway it is a bug somewhere as it clearly does something it shouldn't.

It doesn't change any homepages that have been set by the user. There
must be something else going on to reset user set homepages.

It's using policies.json. Relevant code is this:
"Homepage": {
"StartPage": "homepage",
"URL": "http://flamma.helsinki.fi";
},
It seems that when you upgrade from 60esr to 68esr it keeps everything
else, but not homepage(s). It sets that as your homepage. It does allow
you to change that afterwards, but if you didn't save those elsewhere
before they are gone. I personally have 32 pages set as home.
