Mine has a web browser tile on the homepage. Did you remove yours or install a hack of some kind?

The tiles react to what you do. If you open the browser, the tile for it will be added to the home page. But, if you open a few books, they will push the browser off the home page.

As to keeping a particular tile on the home screen, I haven't found a way to do it. The tiles come from a table in the database. There are ways to prevent tiles appearing, but keeping a particular tile on the screen doesn't work.

And, if you then dismiss those book tiles, or use the browser, the browser tile will re-appear.

I've never had that tile disappear just move position but I use it to load my books from Dropbox.

Just start the browser when you notice its tile is about to dis-appear.
