What version of Provider for Google Calendar do you use? 
Does the problem still occurs after updating to the current Thunderbird 52 + Lightning 5.4 release?
Does the problem still occurs after enabling cookie support in Thunderbird (under Tools>Options>Privacy in Tb52)?

After allowing cookie support (shown in gbug2), finally I can enter into the login page, which is great step but then it doesn't continue to the password when clicking on "NEXT" (shown). It's like if there is lock, but I see no options in Thunderbird that could help. It must be something like that.
In new snapshot gbug2 I have included versions from all products I am using. Thunderbird release installed is the latest in repository for Fedora 24 (shown); I upgraded lightening to a newer version (shown). In another computer (at work) using Fedora 22 without the latest versions installed, I had same problem but setting cookie support it was solved and I could even proceed to the password page and connect to my calendars. 
Thank you for you prompt answer and partial solution
