According to some messages that I found on Mozilla's site,  
other people have experienced the same thing:

"TB keeps asking gmail account password"

Q:

"Today I had to change my gmail password via browser because I  
had forgotten it.
Then Thunderbird started asking me for the gmail password (because it had still
the old one saved).
But it keeps asking for it each time I have to send a message or check emails.

I went under Edit --> Preferences --> Saved Passwords --> Show Passwords

and noticed in fact that it had the old password saved.
I then REMOVED the gmail lines, restarted TB, it asked me the passwd, put in
the new one.
But it keeps asking for it.
I checked  Edit --> Preferences --> Saved Passwords --> Show Passwords  and
noticed that it did not save the new information.

What can I do? thanks."

A:

"This is fixed in TB 68.2.1, but unless there is a 60.9.1  
released, you can apply the workaround:

Edit/Preferences(or AppMenu icon/Options/Options)/Advanced/General/Config.
editor"

SO..  maybe that is what I (we) should have tried.
