Whenever I opened my Thunderbird email client, I am being asked the following: Authentication Required https://fastlyssl.pcworld.com
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:

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.

If you go to Options-General do you have this URL in the field for the Start Page?

The start page for Thunderbird is:
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.
