I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

Adding a shortcut to their homepage != using your own homepage
Agreed, but they are both one tap to take you to your desired homepage. Only difference is there is no Home button in the app. Not sure why Mozilla would leave that out. There is always the extension route, that is one thing I've always liked about Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/home-button-for-ff-on-android/
That extension was made when you could customize your homepage in FireFox settings, and it just lacked a home button.
FireFox currently does have a home button now... you just can't change it from taking you to their hardcoded start page.
That extension was last updated 4 years ago and no longer works for current versions regardless.
I appreciate you trying to help, but please don't take shots in the dark, this is a known issue and extensions are not able to work around this problem. As you can see verified by an official FireFox mod on the issue:
