 security.nocertdb = true (box to save the password does not appear at all)
 security.nocertdb = false (box does appear, but password is not saved)

 Saved Logins ALWAYS STAY blank/empty.

 Although passwords are saved into logins.json (in plain-text nonetheless)
 they can not be used at all!

 logins.json is being written to/populated, but every/each site has
 multiple "id":
 created (seems one for each/every login) with new/different "guid":

 replaced key4.db, logins.json with working ones from 32-bit version --
 works OK
 for already saved sites, anything added/new is NOT WORKING AT ALL
 -- THIS FEATURE (Saved Logins) IS FULLY BROKEN

 please also see #30209
 (logins.json data is added unencrypted, maybe that's why people have
 problems with saved login data)

 Thanks for looking into this.

 32-bit version (at least 8.0.8) works properly with regards to this issue
