Latest Thunderbird update Windows 7 - Each time Thunderbird starts a popup from Yahoo.com email appears over the email inbox. It can be deleted but returns a few minutes later after continued use of Thunderbird email inbox. Have not been able to find a popup blocker for Thunderbird to stop this Yahoo popup. Pleas provide help/guidance. Thank you.

If the authentication on the incoming and outgoing is OAuth2, as it should be for Yahoo, the popup is probably the browser-type window asking to enter your password to authenticate the account and store a token in Saved Passwords. Cookies must be accepted in TB Options for this to work.
