Recently Thunderbird asked me to login again for Gmail. It presents me a form in which I have to insert the password. It is the same form as when I login to my Google account via my browser. Only the NEXT button does not work. Do you have an idea how to solve this?

First, Thunderbird has it's own forum. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-community-support which is fine you can ask anywhere you wish.
Second, setup is no longer "simple." Read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1201406 and if you are like most you may need a bottle of aspirin.

My Win7 had a problem so I had to go back to Win10. And of course the programmers at Microsoft know what is good for us.
I am sure your solution is going to work fine. Of course logging in to the Google account on Win10 takes some time.
Thank you very much.

@T, I'm thinking about a PSA about DNS (that's public service announcement and Domain Name System) since I think I see ISPs (Internet Service Provider) slowing down their DNS or outright hijacking lookups.
You may want to google DNSBENCH and consider changing.
