Digging around the Twitter developer pages I found out that Twitter is enforcing HTTPS, so I went in /usr/share/gwibber/plugins/twitter/gtk/twitter/__init__.py and updated a few lines: Line 78 : url = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=" + self.token.key #changed url to https

Line 143 : http_url="https:/ /api.twitter. com/1.1/ account/ verify_ credentials. json", parameters=None) #changed url to https
After restarting the gwibber client and adding twitter>authorize I was greeted with the twitter login box and was able to add my Twitter account.
