Did you try to use the chrome URL in the location bar? 

chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul

If using the chrome url doesn't work then delete the key3.db and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

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

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
