Thunderbird 91.4.1 authentication problems with gmail accounts

Yesterday, Thunderbird was automatically updated to 91.4.1 on my Windows 10 laptop. Now my gmail accounts fail to authorize. When I start Thunderbird, a splash screen appears "Secure connection failed". The title bar on the splash screen says "Enter credentials for xxxxx@gmail.com on imap.gmail.com" (xxxxx represents my username). There is nowhere to enter credentials as far as I can see. I know for sure that the password I used was correct as I just signed in to gmail using a browser. Please help!

Christ1 - I have a screenshot but image upload doesn't appear to be working (I've been waiting for 10 minutes for my 93Kb image to load)

Is there anything related in the error console (Ctrl-Shift-J)?

What is your anti-virus software?

I am using Windows Defender for virus protection. I just restarted Thunderbird and the error console shows several lines of errors:

NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED: Component returned failure code: 0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsIRequest.name] 4 OAuth2.jsm:171

This could be related, but it's neither exactly clear what's causing the error, nor is there an obvious solution.

I'd suggest to create a new profile using profile manager, start TB with the new profile, and set up one of the troubled Gmail accounts in the new profile. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/using-multiple-profiles

Is there any difference?

I added a second profile - see screen shot. It gave the same error screen :-(

I wonder if OAuth2 is the trigger here?
