Sadly, this is a duplicate of bug 1295122.

On the bright side, a relatively easy fix exists for your issue:

1. Go to your profile directory (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data for how to find it)
2. Close firefox (possibly make a note of the next step first).
3. Delete the following files, key3.db, key4.db, and logins.json. (you probably will only have key3.db or key4.db, and not both)
4. Reopen firefox.

After this, we should recreate the necessary files and stop asking you to login repeatedly. Hope that works, sorry for the inconvenience.
