Chosen solution

When setting up the calendar, Thunderbird will list the calendars and task lists available to be synced. Did you tick the task list as described in this tutorial? https://blog.davekoelmeyer.co.nz/2014/11/26/gmail-calendar-and-tasks-support-in-thunderbird/

What add-on?

Sorry, I should have identified the addon; it was: Provider for Google Calendar.

I don't recall ticking the task list that you mention, so I guess I have to go back and repeat the whole process.

Actually, what I did was create an additional calendar just for Tasks, and re-entered all my tasks manually; I didn't want to go through the nightmare of repeating the linking process.

I'm having the same issue and the linked blog is not available. Can anyone guide me through correcting this? I am using Lightning for calendar, linking to Google calendar.
