How is this related to gmail?

If feels like some steps are missing from your report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html#Writing_precise_steps_to_reproduce

How exactly are you getting the error?

No step is missing: start Thunderbird --> Firefox appears with the reported error message.
The hint to gmail is a Windows screen message (see attachment) which sometimes appears upon Thunderbird's start - simultaneously with the Firefox error page..
For info: I have 2 gmail accounts and have absolutely no problem to log in from Firefox, nor to access gmail messages from Thunderbird.
That is, the "authentication error" doesn't hinder the connection to imap.gmail.com - strange !

I just tested again 4 Thunderbird starts: I got twice Firefox with the error message and the Windows error message, twice no error message (in the latter attempts, maybe I restarted Thunderbird too shortly after having closed it).

PS: In Firefox there were also empty tabs with the address: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token

I suggest you go to the help menu in thunderbird, click on the more troubleshooting information and once there click copy to clipboard and return to this bug and paste the clipboard into an attachment to this bug.

Seems you have somehow got thunderbird to open internal http calls in Firefox. Try troubleshoot mode, and if it doesn't help, track down what setting you changed that made this happen.
