Problem adding Gmail IMAP acct to TB

When I try to add an additional Gmail IMAP acct to TB, TB finds the configuration in Mozilla ISP database. When I click the Done button below, an accounts.google popup windows opens saying "Sign in with your Google Account". The account email address is correctly shown in the box below, but when I click Next (to progress to the password screen), the box is cleared. So, I can never get to the password screen because it seems Google doesn't recognize the account. It's so weird. Any ideas/suggestions gratefully received.

Background info: - This account is valid and signed in/working in on multiple other devices - The account has Google 2SV (2-step verification) activated - The email address and password have been correctly entered - I'm running latest version of TB on Win 10 PC. - I have 4 other Gmail accts syncing email to TB just fine under IMAP.

The URL for the accounts.google popup window is below:

Matt: thanks for the suggestion. You are correct. I didn't realize I had to enable cookies in TB -- I was thinking you were referring to my browser. Many thanks. All good now.
