This one was a quickie, but I’ll post it for later reference.

This problem can be fixed by removing the files key3.db and signons3.txt from your Firefox profile directory. On Unix, it’s usually a random generated directory under ~/.mozilla/firefox. Be aware that removing these files will remove any stored passwords – mine were already gone though.
