Try this:

- go to TB menu > Settings > General

- scroll all the way down and click the 'Config editor' button on the right

- click 'Accept the risk and continue' if that appears

- search for mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser > change the value to true

- restart TB

I'm afraid that this didn't work.

Have you got any more suggestions that I can try?
