Select Oauth2 from the drop down menu next to Authentication method. Under the Gmail account that you want to enable Oauth2 for, go to Server Settings. On the dialog that pops up I enter my name, and the email address of my gmail account. In Thunderbird, go to Account Settings in the menu. Then in Thunderbird I click on the "hamburger" menu button and from there I do + New | Existing Mail Account. javascript.enabled is already set to true, and cookies are already enabled.
