I stopped reading after your initial post, which says as of November
2018 you were running 10.14. macOS 10.14.2 is the current release. If
you are now running 10.14.2, there's no need to discuss it further.

Your Safe Boot problem is solved. It is normal that you need to disable
the firmware password before booting into safe mode. So you don't need
to spend any more time on this.

Don't forget to re-enable the firmware password when you are done with
Safe Boot.
