Failed Sign in to Dropbox to link with Thunderbird

Asked by Marc Eymard

I have installed the dropbox file link add-on in my Thunderbird mail client.
When attaching a file to an email, Thunderbird prompts me to sign in to my dropbox account to authorize the attached link.
A window from within Thunderbird appears, I enter my login details as I would on the dropbox web access then... nothing happens when I hit the sign in button. No response, no error message.

Has anybody encountered a similar issue when linking dropbox and Thunderbird?

If so, I would be grateful to get some help on this one.
Thanks,

Marc

I am running Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander 64 bits

Saucy is EOL next month, you may want to upgrade to Trusty soon.

Hi,

I have upgraded to Trusty but the problem remains. I have posted a help request on the Mozilla website and wait to see if any feedback comes through.

Let me know If you have any other suggestion.

Thanks for your support!
