after my mail comes up and before I can read any emails, the system goes to a screen asking for my password. I enter my password, go back to mail, and before I can read any mail, the screen asking for my password pops up again and does it all over again.

Check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
