If clearing cookies didn't work properly then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

You can try to clear the cache folder on the hard drive manually. You can find the location of the disk cache on the about:cache page. you can open about: pages via the location/address bar.
