So, you have key4.db and logins.json.corrupt and not logins.json.
Is that correct ?
Make a backup copy of the corrupt logins.json and key4.db files just to be sure.
If you have logins.json.corrupt then try to rename logins.json.corrupt to logins.json with Firefox closed to see if that works to restore the logins.
You can also try to reboot the computer.
You can also check if there is an older copy of the logins.json and key4.db files available.
You can look at a utility to browse System Restore points.
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
