Can't add new Gmail account

Hi Support. I am trying to add a new Gmail account to my Thunderbird client (already have one Gmail and one Hotmail there).

After I click to add a new account, it opens a browser popup for the Gmail login. I click NEXT many times but this does not update. I also can't copy the link to post it on another browser as the only control I have over that page is clicking next and writing my e-mail.

I am attaching a screenshot of the window I can't get past. Please let me know if there is another way to add an account, or maybe force another browser to open this Gmail verification window.

I think you need to enable cookies in Thunderbird to get past this point.

What is your Thunderbird version?

Just uninstalled unfortunately, as I really liked Thunderbird and used it for years.
