OAuth2 authentication problems
Hi, I'm installing Thunderbird on my MacBook Pro (Apple M3). I've a mail account on GMAIL with OAuth2 and I've already correctly settled the "cookies" and the Javascript issues in SETTINGS. The popup window with my correct email address opens and I can click for having the new window to open for insert my password on "imap.gmail.com", but this new window in an empty one without any field where to add the password. In my old MacBook (Intel processor) everything works fine. I've imported the whole profile from the old to the new MacBook and it also does not work (same settings, thus). The problem is in this image. The screen from Google to put the credentials does not appear. I've not found any help on line. Any suggestion? Thanks giovanni

Did you accept cookies in TB Settings? Doing it in the web browser has no effect. Does the new mac use a VPN?
Yes TB cookie settings. No VPN in use. You see from the screenshot that the window for putting the SSO credentials does not appear. It seems like the redirection from GMAIL to the SSO page breaks. There is somewhere any setting breaking this?
I'm not sure TB supports gmail's SSO. A simple thing to try is to remove the oauth:// entry from Saved Passwords in Settings, restart TB, and enter the account (not app) password in the OAuth dialog. This might reset the authentication process to how it worked on the old computer.
