Fixing Gmail account creation error on Thunderbird 115.12.2

I spent hours scouring the net and finally found how to get Thunderbird version 115.12.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 to connect to my Gmail account.

The reference is from:

Essentially you have to use the Thunderbird Config Editor to change the "general.useragent.compatMode.firefox" property to true.

The config editor can be found under Edit-Preferences-Advanced-General-Config Editor
