Rather than remove all customisation by uninstalling firefox or deleting localstore.rfd, my workround was

close firefox
edit ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/localstore.rdf to remove the 6 lines referring to "sanitize.xul"

<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/sanitize.xul#SanitizeDialog"
                       screenX="439"
                       screenY="345" />
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/sanitize.xul">
  <NC:persist RDF:resource="chrome://browser/content/sanitize.xul#SanitizeDialog"
</RDF:Description>

then restart.
The repeated dialogue goes away.
