How can i log in to Thunderbird now? I never had a Username.
Thunderbird receives e-mail from my [email protected] e-mail account. I never had a username for Thunderbird. When I clicked the Thunderbird icon, a screen came up that only asked for my password, which happens to be the same password for my aol e-mail account. This update 45.0 to Thunderbird was pushed to me, I did not ask for it. It seems to be downloading my aol mail automatically, whether I am signed in or not. When it does this it disappears from aol. I can not sign in to Thunderbird now, so you have taken away my access to my e-mail. What do we do about this.

Of course not. Thunderbird is an email client, and you use it to access an email account you set up with an email provider (AOL). Hence you do also have a AOL user ID to login to your (AOL) account.

Thunderbird will prompt you for a password when you access your account, unless you told Thunderbird to remember the password.
When it does this it disappears from aol.
If you set up your account as POP, this is the expected behavior, unless you told Thunderbird to leave messages on the server.

As said before, you do not sign in to Thunderbird regardless. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-receive-messages
Use webmail as a workaround until you fixed the problem.
