When I click on an addon that has a login prompt, it dissapears after appearing
I haven't been able to login to dashlane in ubuntu 18.04 with firefox. When I click on the add on icon, it displays a login popup, but it disappears just as fast.
I tried another password manager, keeper, and similarly, when I click on the password field in the addon's popup, it immediately disappears.

I have tried deleting all of my firefox extension data.
I have tried uninstalling firefox with "sudo apt remove firefox --purge, and manually removing all firefox folders left behind, then reinstalling, and only installing one plugin at a time with the same results.
I have tried safe mode, however, this only seems to happen to extensions, so that wan't any help.
I have tried resetting firefox to defaults, after re-installing, and that has not made any difference.
Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (61.0.1) in all languages and all operating systems here:
Same issue with a direct download from the provided link.
OK, so when I install from ubuntu snaps, it installs 61.0.2, and one issue is fixed, but now, a new issue, I cannot use my U2F Yubikey nano any more. It has been enabled in about:config by setting security.webauth.u2f to true, and restarting the browser. However, I cannot use my key to log into sites, like google gmail, which I could when using the same version that is not a snap. So I trade one issue for another.
What are my options?
Hi, Firefox updates to version 62.0 tomorrow, Help --> About. See if anything helps, if not give a shout back.
The OP is using a Firefox build from Ubuntu so the updates will be in package manager when available. The Help->About > Update is only for the official builds from mozilla.org

Thank you. Yes am completely wrong on suggesting up date via Help --> About. Sorry about that. (no pun intended)
Please do update to version 62.0 as am sure have noticed even numbers sometimes run better.
Thanks for the help. I’ll keep an eye out for the update.
Note that there are also two other pref that you can check.
- security.webauth.u2f (true)
- security.webauth.webauthn_enable_usbtoken (true)
- security.webauth.webauthn_enable_softtoken (false)
