I keep getting the same error message when going to just one web site. I have cleared history, cookies, allowed cookies. I even went into "trouble shooting" and deleted "cookies.sqlite-shm" and cokkies-sqlite-wal". I even attempted to add the website to the cookies as a specific site to allow cookies. That worked once but when I went back in the next day, I received the same error message. I am now a a loss.

uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.3 with a Full Version Installer
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
I reinstalled Firefox exactly the way you described. Firefox would not allow me to install 57.0.3 only 57.0.4 I am not sure if this makes a difference but either way I am still having the same issues as before "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete". Anything else I can try???
Is that only happening with that single website?
Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)? Also make sure you do not block the referrer.
Did you remove cookies.sqlite as well since you only mention the SQLite temp files (sqlite-shm and sqlite-wall)?
If you use a bookmark then navigate to the web page starting with the main page or the sign in page in case there is a problem with this bookmark.
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks and history and cookies and passwords and cache and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.
If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
