I've experiences this same bug for several years on Windows, Linux, and OS X. I filed a bug report (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676452) because Thunderbird will freeze completely if you are using the mouse to move a message to a folder at the time that the authentication dialog pops up.
In the comments to the bug report, I documented that the prompt for the RSS password actually stopped appearing for a few months when I switched computers and Thunderbird versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222208 Title: user-id and password not sent automatically for rss-feed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/222208/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
