I had this same problem and found that I had to set mail.password_protect_local_cache to false in the Config Editor to get Thunderbird to remember passwords between sessions. Looking at the Password Manager, usernames show <not specified> when mail.password_protect_local_cache is true and the site is "ximap", but show the actual username when false, with site as "imap". My accounts are IMAP and I haven't tried this with POP.
