I've been synching Lightning with Google Calendar for over a year without any problems, but today when I opened Thunderbird no events were being displayed in Lightning. I tried deleting my Google Calendar in Lightning (i.e. in Lightning, under "Calendars" in the left pane, I right-clicked on "Google Calendar" and selected "Delete"), but now it won't allow me to re-create the calendar (I'm trying to create it using the method described at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-lightning-google-calendar). When I select File + New + Calendar, then select "On the network", then click "Next", and then select "Google Calendar", a "Location" text box should be visible in which I should be able to paste the XML location of my Google Calendar - but no such textbox is visible. In the dialog box, the "Location" textbox *is* visible for any option I select other than "Google Calendar", but it disappears if I select the "Google Calendar" radio button. I wondered whether the Provider for Google Calendar add-on might have stopped working properly so I uninstalled and reinstalled that, but doing so made no difference. Thunderbird appears to have just upgraded itself to a new release and I wondered whether this could have caused the problem? If so how can I undo this upgrade? Being able to synchronise Lightning with Google calendar is absolutely critical for me. I'm on Thunderbird 31.2.0, Lightning 3.3.1 and Provider for Google Calendar 1.0.1. Dave

Update: downgrading the Provider for Google Calendar to version 0.32 appears to have fixed this. Does anyone know why this might be and what functionality I will lose from doing this downgrade? I can't see any obvious loss of functionality but there must be something or version 1.01 wouldn't have been released in the first place.

Those instructions are only valid for old releases of the extension. In the current release you don't need to enter the calendar address anymore. Just proceed with Next and enter your Google email address on the following page. /Stefan
