I'm trying to use firefox on linux (no gui). I must use microsoft SSO to login our website. So i copied the profile (the folder Mozilla) from windows to linux. It was good to login automatically and implicitly on linux (CentOS6). But after 2-4 hours, it couldn't login any more. I have to login manually on windows again, and then copy the file webappsstore.sqlite to the profile folder on linux. How can I make it can login on linux for a long time without copying a new webappsstore.sqlite to linux?

A further finding: the webappsstore.sqlite has the access token and its expiration information. So maybe the access token is out of time on linux. When run it on windows, it can obtain a new access token when open the url. So I suspected that http request failed to be sent on linux when open the url. Any suggestion?
