Workaround: Purge ubuntu firefox package. Download binary from mozilla site, disable FIPS mode, and disable master password. Install firefox fron the repository---now I see all saved passwords.
** Summary changed: - firefox : missing saved logins and passwords after upgrade to firefox 48 (Linux Mint) + firefox : missing saved logins and passwords after upgrade to firefox 48 (firefox in FIPS mode) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612728 Title: firefox : missing saved logins and passwords after upgrade to firefox 48 (firefox in FIPS mode) Status in Linux Mint: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Package: firefox Version: 48.0+linuxmint2+rosa Architecture: amd64 Build ID: 20160811171047 Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa Steps to reproduce: In firefox 47 I used to save logins and password and used master password. FF was configured in FIPS mode. After upgrade to firefox 48 list of saved logins became empty and "use master password" became unchecked. Actual results: All saved logins and passwords disappeared. Go to about:preferences#security, "Logins" section, "remember logins" box is checked but the list of saved logins is empty. Also, the "use master password" box is unchecked. When I start firefox in safe mode --- all login and passwords are in place. I do use master password---it is working as expected in safe mode. When I start firefox with all addons disabled --- password and logins are still missing. Same problem exists if I download and manually install firefox dpkg from Ubuntu repository: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_48.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb Also, saved logins and passwords work properly when I use latest binary firefox 48 (build id 20160726073904) x86_64 from the Mozilla site. Expected results: Saved passwords and logins shouldn't disapear --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.21 Architecture: amd64 BuildID: 20160811171047 CurrentDesktop: MATE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: firefox 48.0+linuxmint2+rosa [modified: usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/vendor-firefox.js usr/lib/firefox/distribution/distribution.ini] [origin: linuxmint] PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-22.40~14.04.1-generic 4.4.8 Profiles: Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=48.0/20160726073904 (In use) (Out of date) Tags: third-party-packages rosa Uname: Linux 4.4.0-22-generic x86_64 UnreportableReason: This is not an official Ubuntu package.
