Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux aarch64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171115095541
Steps to reproduce:
Since FF57 our customizations in /etc/firefox are not picked up. (worked fine before until version 56)
Linking or moving them to /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/ only applies the settings partially like the browser.startup.homepage is not recognized and settings like browser.sessionstore.interval are overwritten by the defaults.
Settings like browser.showMenubar get applied however.
Actual results:
Customizations not applied
Expected results:
Customizations should apply.

Apparently putting (or linking) the configuration to /usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences works just fine.
Packaging used is the firefox 57 from ubuntu 57.0+build4-0ubuntu0.16.04.5
