My Gmail accounts were all changed to Ouath2 in the latest update and now I can't access any of those messages. See screenshots of what comes up when I try to authenticate the Gmail Oauth2 setting.

I have deleted the account's saved password and I have accepted "cookies from sites" in Preferences. On the same Preferences screen I have set "Accept third-party cookies" to Never.

Please help as this is driving me nuts!

Hi Your second screenshot says that 'the browser' has JavaScript turned off and Gmail needs it on for this. This answer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1286410 found a JavaScript setting in TB, affecting the internal TB browser capability, so that may be the case for you. I am not certain whether TB is opening a separate browser function - but have you investigated the default browser you have and how to turn on JavaScript? Either way, if necessary after you complete the TB sign-in, then you can turn JavaScript off again if that's your preference. Hope this helps.
