Please tell me why I am now prompted to submit my password for my internet provider ? In the past with all the upgrades this has never been requested before and I wish to know if my computer has been compromised.

I have no idea who "your system" is. Thunderbird is email client software that runs on your computer. When you get or send mail your email providers server asks for a password. You can enter this yourself or have Thunderbird remember the password and provide it for you.
