For the past 10 days, whenever I opened my Thunderbird email client, I am being given to login and prompt as follow:

Authentication Required

https://fastlyssl.pcworld.com is requesting your username and password. WARNING: Your password will not be sent to the website you are currently visiting!

User Name:

Password:

I have no idea of what is required. I have to cancel it every time or use the Escape key. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.3 as my OS. Thanks.

The start page for Thunderbird is:

https://live.mozillamessaging.com/thunderbird/start?locale=en-US&version=52.5.0&os=Linux&buildid=20171122155912

The start page for Firefox is:

Mozilla Firefox Start Page

Firefox is irrelevant. That is a completely separate program. The start page is the only webpage that Thunderbird calls up. Not sure where yours is coming from.

In my Blogs & News Feeds, I discovered two old News Feeds that were not used for almost a year. One was connected to PC World. Deleted the two blog links and no more Authentication Required window popping up. Thanks for your help. I should have looked much further.
