I am using Thunderbird 52.9.1 on XPMode (virtual Windows XP) and since some time my OAuth2 Gmail accounts have stopped working: I am requested to enter password and other stuff but then all is stuck into a loop and nothing happens in terms of receiving (IMAP) or sending (SMTP) emails.
I am aware of the Gmail changes occurred around end of May 2022: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/au ... ts-oauth20
I am also well aware that the OS and Thunderbird which I am using are out of date since many years now but, despite this, all was working up to only a handful of months ago and so I was hoping for some "tweaks/workarounds" (simple or advanced) from someone expert to try to keep using that OS and that version of Thunderbird with my Gmail accounts.
Can someone help?
Thank you
TB 52.9.1 and OAuth2 for Gmail

Hello
https://forums.mozfr.org/viewtopic.php?p=929505#p929505 ?
go to: Tools - Options - Advanced - Config editor
And change this to:
general.useragent.compatMode.firefox = true
This will make Thunderbird to mask it's user agent string, so gmail OAuth2 popup works properly..
Restart Thunderbird after changing preference, general.useragent.compatMode.firefox
