Start-up Thunderbird & series of 2 pop-ups from Yahoo open up: [ Sign in using your Yahoo account ].
Every time I start-up Thunderbird, a series of 2 pop-ups from Yahoo open up: [ Sign in using your Yahoo account ]. I close the pop-up and a 2nd one pops-up. I close it and say 10 or 15 mins they pop back up in the same series. It's very frustrating. I can't tell if it's Yahoo or a scam cookie. I notice the URL at the top of page and it's the same one every time and every day. The same URL shows: "https://login.yahoo.com/?src=thunderbird&client_id=dj0yJmk9NUtCTWFMNVpTaVJmJmQ9WVdrOVJ6UjVTa2xJTXpRbWNHbzlNQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD0yYw--&crumb=uE2cxQuNxpE&login_hint= ..." <... it goes on for a few more lines. It's long. I went to Firefox and cleared all 'cache' and 'cookies' and they still pop-up in Thunderbird. Heck, they just popped up again while writing you! How do I stop this intrusion while using Thunderbird? Thanks, RonD

I checked the Authentication Method setting and it's set correctly to 'OAuth'. So I gathered that the pop-ups are legit from Yahoo and I suppose wants to re-verify permission from me. I went ahead an proceeded forward with the pop-up and it asked for a verification that is was me. Then asked if I give Thunderbird permission to hook up with Yahoo & I did. Now looks like the pop-ups are not happening any more. Christ1, thanks for directing me how the setup should be and gave me confidence that it was Yahoo trying to reach out. Thanks, RonD.

What is a scam cookie?

It's legitimate, and it won't stop if you close the pop-up. Thunderbird attempts to connect to your Yahoo account, and as long as you don't authenticate, it won't go away.

Beats me. Firefox has got nothing to do with it. Why do you think it has?

If you think this is an intrusion, just delete your Yahoo account in Thunderbird. Otherwise simply authenticate to the Yahoo server. Note, for the OAuth authentication to succeed cookies need to be enabled in Thunderbird.
