The OAuth2 authentication process starts normally. However, after I click "Allow" in Thunderbird to grant access to my Gmail, I encounter an error stating: "Failed to establish a secure connection to localhost." The specific error code is SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT.

I have already tried adjusting settings related to cookies and JavaScript, but it didn't resolve the issue.
