Updating the google calendar provider (from 2.6) to 3.3 fixed the 
problem for me

I haven't such problems with TB in stretch or jessie. Both versions are
currently 45.8.0-3, we doesn't have TB 52.x ready for upload.

Can you please start thunderbird from the cli by using some extra
environment variables and check what's maybe blocking or not working?

Please substitute 'icedove' with 'thunderbird' if haven't installed the
icedove package.

Before posting here please ensure you don't have any sensible data in
there.

Dear Maintainer,

When attempting to authenticate a google email account, i get stuck at the
google sign-in page. It requests the email account but the Next button and
More
options buttons do not work. This is a known probably caused by a google
oauth
change of some sort which has been fixed in upstream thunderbird:
