SO your issue is with Firefox, not thunderbird, right ?

The issue is with THUNDERBIRD.

Alan can you tell us hat version of thunderbird ? Are you using the master password mechanism ? 

When you enter your password and that it is not saved do you see something in Tools->Error console ?

This is a duplicate of bug 121647 and possibly one or two other bugs. Assuming you're using gmail IMAP then it has been improved for Thunderbird 3 beta 3 and won't forget your password unless you want to change the password.
