Thunderbird 128 oauth fails with gmail. SOLVED by accepting cookies
I have Thunderbird 128 installed and just tried to get my gmail account set up. Everytime I try to add it, the Oauth window comes up, I log into Google, and then get a "malformed url" error and the oauth fails.
Anyone else have this problem with 128? Is there a workaround?

Eh, it was user error. I had accept cookies turned off in Tbird. Set it to accept cookies and it authed okay.

I have not tried to set up a gmasil in 128, but I am having no issues with oauth generally with gmail. Why are you creating a new account in Thunderbird? Is there some issue with the update, or is it just today you needed to add an account.
I'm just setting up a new windows laptop. This was the first attempt to add gmail to Thunderbird 128 - it's not upgrading from any previous installation. I'm using the same M$ account and nothing was there when I installed it on this computer. Should there be?
The error I receive from google is: "400. That’s an error.
The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know."
I've had no problem with earlier versions of Thunderbird and gmail.
