Is there a way to sync google calendar with Lightning anymore?
The mozilla support page for syncing lightning with a google calendar says to use the xml link from google. (found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-lightning-google-calendar)
Google says it has discontinued supporting the xml feeds for the calendar. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/calendar/Z9SRXUh93xI/EodxtxgyAQAJ;context-place=forum/calendar
Is there another (easy!) way to make the two calendars sync, or does that keep them from being able to go both ways?
Thanks!

caldav is the way to go, it is better than XML in my view as well.
When you add your network calendar provide the gmail dav endpoint for your calendar as the URL
The Google dav URL is sort of hidden, but not that much so.
Click the down arrow beside the calendar name on Google. Select calendar settings In the calendar address on the page there is an ICAL and HTML icon. This is followed by the calendar ID.
The url to use is
https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/The calendar ID from the web page/events So if your calederId was adhane@gmail.com The url would be https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/adhane@gmail.com/events

Fantastic, thanks!
The caldav works for google calendars that I own (thank you), but not those that I have editing rights but don't own. The calendar ID for this looks like 24randomlettersnumbers@group.calendar.google.com Is there a solution to this?
Also, how do I now sync with google tasks list as tasks do not have a visible ID of any sort.
I am using Lightning 4.0.5.1 and TB 38.5.1

After entering my url as per above instruction - I then get a pop-up asking for username & password. When I enter my Gmail details, they don't appear to be accepted but what does happen is, I get an email from google advising that an unsecure log in was attempted to my account. Any ideas ??

The above now works and I can log in without receiving the warning email and sync appointments both ways :-)
