Try launching Kodi from the launch app bit in the Manage Apps from the lowest option in the menu on the home page that you have to scroll across to get to.

Then hopefully it may appear in the main page under the Apps and Recent Apps and you should be able to set it as a favourite.
Launching it from Firestarter may not have the same effect on it.

I managed to put mine on by long press OK button then select Apps then Kodi. Then track back send stick to sleep on return of the home screen Kodi was in Recent. I have done this with all APPS I use regularly Youtube and a Fork of Kodi.


Good Luck
