I have used Thunderbird for many years with no problems. Just recently, when I open Thunderbird, a box asks for password for news.mozilla.org., with no option to set a new password. I don't recall ever having set a password and very rarely use the newsgroup. When I press cancel the box goes away and everthing appears to work as normal. Any advice please?
