calendar in firefox and thunderbird will not sync to each other or other devices

more options

Hi all, I have installed integrated google calendar into both Firefox (windows10). When it opens it does not have the "new" look - just looks like an old google calendar and also installed google calendar/lightning/provider into Thunderbird. Neither calendar syncs with the other and will also not sync with my android phone. All accounts seem to be linked with my gmail address, although in the android phone, the gmail address is greyed out. Please be gentle with your answers as this is all new to me.

The ability to synchronize your Google calendar with the Firefox web browser and the Thunderbird e-mail program is provided by add-ons to both. The ability is not native to either program.

In this particular forum, we provide support to Thunderbird, and elsewhere in https://support.mozilla.org is support for Firefox. Neither provide support for add-ons.

For support for the Google add-ons you have installed, please refer to the makers of the add-ons.

I don't know which add-ons you are using, so can only offer some guesses as to who they might be: Using Lightning with Google Calendar Provider for Google Calendar

Thanks Bruce, I have already installed Lightning and Provider....I am no wiser than before.

I provided the link for Provider for Google Calendar, so you would go there and find out how to ask the writer of the add-on for help.

Do that please.
