thunderbird won't load google calendar
Hello and thanks in advance, huge t'bird fan. Using version 31.1.2 with google calendar provider 0.32 and lightning 3.3.1. I was not able to modify a recurring event and got an error message (happens sometimes, usually find a work around or delete and start over).
Then T'bird failed to sign into Google calendar and Google suggested that I might need to enable cookies - but they were already enabled.
Cleared cookies and then tried the developer's suggested combination of Google Calendar Provider and Lightning versions : no luck.
When I right click on Calendar Properties, error message is : The provider for this calendar could not be found. This often happens if you have disabled or uninstalled certain add-ons.
However, add-ons are enabled currently.
Have not seen any examples of this type of problem in forums etc : welcome your suggestions, thanks!

I've just removed lightning and provider. downloaded the latest lightning again, and version 0.32 of provider, installed lightning restarted, then install from file, provider and restarted, right click in left hand column of calendar to add new calendar- from network, follow instructions for google calendar, got the xml location address from my google settings. And finally I have my calendar back. everything has synced. Time will tell if it is still there in a day or so but for now it seems to work.
This solves my problem! Thanks!
Make sure you check "do not update" in the provider settings. today my calendar disappeared again, and I realized Provider had updated to 1.01 again. I deleted the calendar and reinstalled 0.32 and it reappeared
I installed the recommended update to Tbird this morning and calendar disappeared again ; same request to log in to Google, same question about enabling cookies :(
bigdaymartin's solution worked for me too; thanks!
