As long as you don't say what extension this is and where you got it 
from, none of us can help you with this problem. If it's a legitimate 
extension asking you to enter your email password and user name, then 
it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. If you don't know where you 
got it from, uninstall it immediately and reinstall it from a reputable 
site.

I never said a word about Thunderbird, and i have no idea how you got 
that idea!

Yes, and if it was useful, reinstall it from a reputable source.

I don't understand a word of this. What link did you click on and where 
was it? When ordering something online, you should never click on any 
link to get to that site. Enter the address by typing it when you go 
there the first time and then save the address as a bookmark by clicking 
Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page. Thereafter go there by clicking on the 
bookmark, not by typing the address.

When ordering something on a secure website, the debit card or other 
account number is not saved. If such sensitive information is saved, 
never use that website again; they're either dangerous amateurs or 
crooks. You can get rid of specific sensitive information saved in 
Firefox due to an insecure website form by holding down Shift while 
pressing delete. Or simply delete all such info by going to tools > 
options > privacy > saved forms < clear saved form data now.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
