Thunderbird 91.4.1 authentication problems with gmail accounts
Yesterday, Thunderbird was automatically updated to 91.4.1 on my Windows 10 laptop. Now my gmail accounts fail to authorize. When I start Thunderbird, a splash screen appears "Secure connection failed". The title bar on the splash screen says "Enter credentials for xxxxx@gmail.com on imap.gmail.com" (xxxxx represents my username). There is nowhere to enter credentials as far as I can see. I know for sure that the password I used was correct as I just signed in to gmail using a browser. Please help!

Please post a screenshot of the error. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
Christ1 - I have a screenshot but image upload doesn't appear to be working (I've been waiting for 10 minutes for my 93Kb image to load)
Trying a smaller image...
Is there anything related in the error console (Ctrl-Shift-J)?
What is your anti-virus software?
I am using Windows Defender for virus protection. I just restarted Thunderbird and the error console shows several lines of errors:

NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED: Component returned failure code: 0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsIRequest.name] 4 OAuth2.jsm:171
This could be related, but it's neither exactly clear what's causing the error, nor is there an obvious solution.
I'd suggest to create a new profile using profile manager, start TB with the new profile, and set up one of the troubled Gmail accounts in the new profile. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/using-multiple-profiles
Is there any difference?
I added a second profile - see screen shot. It gave the same error screen :-(
I wonder if OAuth2 is the trigger here?
I have now deleted the new profile and started again with screenshots... Screen 1: Create profile
Screen 2: Create Profile Wizard - click Next
Screen 3: Enter new profile name
Screen 4: New profile name entered - click Finish
Screen 5: Click on the new profile name and ensure both checkboxes are unchecked.
Screen 6: Exit from the profile manager and start Thunderbird
Screen 7: Fill out the email address/password form and click Continue
Screen 8: Thunderbird fails to fill in the details, so fill them in manually.
Screen 9: Click Re-test - connection security is automatically changed to SSL/TLS. Authentication methods both remain as Autodetect. Click Re-test again.
Screen 10: Re-test sets both Authentication methods to Normal password. Click Done
Screen 11: ERROR: Unable to log in at Server ...
Screen 12: This is the "Problem loading page" tab
