Comment (by tw64_pass):

 VERY SIMILAR (& related) ISSUE (seems to be a somewhat deeper root cause
 at work here):
 NO PASSWORDS ARE SAVED AT ALL

 new/clean install of
 torbrowser-install-win64-8.5_en-US.exe

 about:preferences#privacy
 Forms & Passwords
 ON      Remember logins and passwords for websites
 Saved Logins ALWAYS STAY blank/empty
 History
 Use custom settings for history
 OFF     Always use private browsing mode
 OFF     Remember my browsing and download history
 OFF     Remember search and form history
 ON      Clear history when Tor Browser closes (all 7 suboptions ON)

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

 32-bit version (at least 8.0.8) works properly ...

 Thanks for looking into this.
