Just updated to 78.4.0, and now it says there is an error with my password when it tries to log in. I haven't changed anything. My wife isn't having any problem with hers, but she hardly ever uses it.

I don't know what happened, I cut my grass, when I came in, and started Thunderbird, it started working.

I have an issue that might be relayed:

Since upgrading TB to 78, when starting the program a window pops up asking me for my Google credentials "htts://google.com is requesting your username and password. The site says: Google APis".

However, I do not have TB linked to Google at all, neither to gmail nor gcalendar.

How can I get rid of this annoying message?

Thanks!
