Firefox doesn't save password

Hi,
Summary :
Firefox doesn't save password. On form login webpage, the dialogbox asking if I want to save my login/password appears, but it is not saved (when I logout, no remember data is displayed on loggin form as usually. Nothing appears in Preference/Privacy & Security list of saved login/password : empty).
Environnement :
Mozilla Firefox 59.0.2 Ubuntu 17.10 64 bits
What I do to try to solve this problem:
1. I read the mozilla knowledge database https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/usernames-and-passwords-are-not-saved
All is ok ( "Remember logins and passwords for websites." checked, always remember history... )
2. I check file permissions (chmod, chown) of .mozilla folder, read & write privileges for user (the profile folder cames from a windows installation : user switching to linux... )
3. A message error on console log
(/usr/lib/firefox/firefox:2827): dconf-WARNING **: Unable to open /var/lib/snapd/desktop/dconf/profile/user: Permission non accordée
This message appears when I load a webpage with the empty form loggin, (not when the dialog box asking to save appears...) . Pearhaps, do not relate this problem.
But this bring me to a similar support for firefox with this error https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156416
So, I disable extension : same probleme. I empty extension folder : same problem
4. Rename file in profile folder : A solution suggested to solve no registering password I can read is to rename key3.db key4.db and login.json. Same problem.
When I ask to register login/password when the dialogbox appears, only login.json seams written.
List of profile folder modified file during theses tests : saved-telemetry-pings crashes prefs.js sessionCheckpoints.json webappsstore.sqlite favicons.sqlite SecurityPreloadState.txt AlternateServices.txt xulstore.json addons.json addonStartup.json.lz4 extensions.json extensions search.json.mozlz4 compatibility.ini permissions.sqlite logins.json
A solution finded
I run firefox --safe-mode option : all works fine : can register new passwords, and old user password (from his windows firefox installation) appears in preference/privacy dialog.
Can you help me ?
Thanks !

hey, I have two questions:- 1. The arlier version of FF(59.0.1) used to report when a website was trying to canvass the browser; that message seems to be missing in FF 59.0.2. The message that used to get displayed was " This website (<website name>) attempted to extract HTML5 canvas data which may be used to uniquely identify your computer. Should Firefox allow this website to extract HTML5 canvas data?" This message/warning isn't showing up on Mozilla Firefox 59.0.2 after I upgraded. Could you elaborate?
2. Bonus question: DailyMotion website/videos don't plan on mozilla firefox; Youtube, Vimeo work just fine. For info, I use HTTPS Everywhere, PrivacyBadger, Ublock origin and No Script add-ons but I adjust them depending on the website. Tried all of it but DM does not work.
Thanks!

I'm running firefox on Kubuntu 16.04. Everytime when I resume the firefox window after I have minimized it for awhile, it has a chance to crash. The issue has been there since version 51, and still exist with version 54 now. As it happens randomly, no test has been run with safemode.
Some crash reports: bp-b8dd5dcc-d490-4ba7-8ec1-05e8c0170809 bp-c59063f9-6ae8-4dc2-8cd9-bd0e10170809

I don't know if this is a Firefox issue or a Wire issue. Just thought I should start here first.
When I click on links on Wire, for example, youtube links, Wire should normally open a new tab in Firefox redirecting to the link I've clicked on. The problem is that this expected behaviour only happens when Firefox is already launched and running on a window. If Firefox is not already launched then clicking on the link "apparently" does nothing, no matter how long I'm waiting for Firefox to launch. "Apparently", because when I try to launch Firefox myself after that, I get the message that Firefox is already running and that I have to close it or restart my system. Needless to say I can't launch Firefox and I have to reboot. I have a screenshot attached for more details.
Is it a Firefox issue or could it be a Wire issue? Nevertheless I'll be posting a similar post on Wire forums. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
I'm running Ubuntu 14.4 Trusty Tahr on 32-bit System.

When you look at the KEY (all caps) like https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.5.3esr/ Other than showing you a signing key ID(s) & an email addy to search for public keys, what is the purpose of the KEY on the download pages?
Entering: $ gpg KEY, where the KEY file is in the current location shown in the terminal, gives info like:
D98F0353 2015-07-17 Mozilla Software Releases <release@mozilla.com> sub 4096R/5E9905DB 2015-07-17 [expires: 2017-07-16]
Only thing I can figure is the "KEY" file is to tell users which public key ID or email addy to search for, if you don't already have the devs' correct public signing key stored on your keyring?
That still doesn't help to verify the authenticity of any downloads, unless there are *.asc signature files for each specific file. Like here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.5.3esr/update/linux-x86_64/en-US/
There's a firefox update file that was signed by the devs, using one or more of their PGP signature keys. And a 2nd "signature file" - with .asc extension, that's used with GPG to verify the downloaded file's **authenticity.** NOTE: This has NOTHING to do with checksums!
Checksums don't verify that the file you're downloading wasn't tampered with after it was loaded on the server. Only that there were no read / write errors during download process.
The two files below were together. You need both to verify authenticity using gpg. firefox-52.5.2esr-52.5.3esr.partial.mar firefox-52.5.2esr-52.5.3esr.partial.mar.asc
If I've already downloaded the mozilla devs' public keys & stored them on a keyring app, then I can verify the downloaded file. If you change dir to where the update file & the signature file (.asc) are stored, then you enter:
$ gpg --verify firefox-52.5.2esr-52.5.3esr.partial.mar.asc firefox-52.5.2esr-52.5.3esr.partial.mar
If the signed downloaded file's signature matches the .asc file & also the correct, stored public key for the authors, it will say:
gpg: Signature made Tue 03 Oct 2017 05:22:45 PM CDT using RSA key ID 24C6F355 gpg: Good signature from "Mozilla Software Releases <release@mozilla.com>"
The FULL installer packages like firefox-52.5.3esr.linux-x86_64.sdk.tar.bz2 don't seem to have signature files available (with .asc). There's no way for users to manually verify full installer packages. Maybe they somehow do "self verification." It seems like firefox would have to contact a server - at some point to compare signature of the package being installed against a known good signature key.

This has occur with both MATE and Cinnamon versions of Linux Mint 17.2. Firefox runs fine until I open a new tab. Then sometimes the cpu maxes out and I have to kill Firefox. On the last instance, the entire system crashed; I am guessing a kernel panic or VMWare killed the virtual machine.
