This has been fixed upstream and is tracked by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1592407. [Test Case] In a clean environment, launch thunderbird and add an existing gmail account. Thunderbird should auto-detect all the relevant parameters, and then an external webview should pop up to prompt for your e-mail address (it's not auto-filled, that's a separate issue that's also known upstream) and your password. After filling this in and authorizing thunderbird to access your e-mails, your account should be set up and thunderbird should start fetching e-mails from your inbox. Instead it fails to authenticate and displays the authentication pop up again. [Regression Potential] Low, as this is an official upstream point release that addresses only this regression (see https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/60.9.1/releasenotes/). The fix is minimal and self-contained (https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr60/rev/56b6d1b50647143c25efe642b37b02f65f9c4343), if the bug is indeed confirmed to be fixed then it should be safe. [Original Bug Description] When I use Thunderbird, it keeps failing to connect with my Google (Gmail) accounts. It keeps asking for authentication via the web portal, I seem to successfully give Thunderbird authentication, but no messages come in and, soon afterwards, the web portal comes up asking for login again. I am using OAuth2 (so this ( https://support.mozilla.org/en- US/questions/1201406 ) doesn't help.
