Hi! I think I've removed every tie to an old gmail account on thunderbird, and yet it still prompts me to sign in every time I open it - please help! What can I do to stop this?

My best guess is there is still an address book linked to Google Contacts, or a Google Calendar, or both. Check your settings.

Thank you both for your responses! I've removed the cookies, and I've looked over all of my settings and can't find a trace of google anywhere. Is there something I'm missing?

Should I just try to uninstall thunderbird and re-do everything?

Not sure what that means. You need to check for a Google Calendar and/or an address book linked to Google Contacts.

Re-installing Thunderbird will keep your Thunderbird profile, so you'd just be wasting your time. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data
