The only way I've found to make this work is the following:
1. Install Provider 0.32.
2. Restart Thunderbird.
3. Go to Add-ons Manager, click on Provider and then on "More". Scroll down and disable automatic updates.

Version 0.32 works perfectly and that's why I'm giving you 5 stars, plus it's my way to show my support to the project. For now, I'll just stick with that version. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 to work.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.2).

My Google calendar is know working with read/write access.

I tried creating calendars with and without this add-on, using the links provided by Google and they didn't work. Then I read Paulo Costa's message below, and it did. So I'm repeating it!

-------------------------------------------------
For anyone saying that Lighting doesn't support Google Calendar anymore or that Provider for Google Calendar now doesn't work, see https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/. The method described there for adding a writable Google Calendar totally works.
-------------------------------------------
The relevant paragraph is the one titled "How do I set up the new calendar?"

P.S. I've given the add-on 5 stars because it worked great for the last 4 years, but I'm removing it now...

Seriously, developer IS trying to fix the problems that came after an update of mozilla ! Why give him the 1 star ratings because it is not working currently after the update ? He should get 5 stars for effort alone ! The addon is great. Temporary not working but I am convinced it will work again in a few hours or days.

Thanks in advance for your great effort ! Appreciated.

(Also just tried the 1.0.2 and with me it also is currently not working)

I found the fix
1. delete/remove this add-on
2. use the CalDAV method described here
https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/

2a. Open the new calendar dialog (File → New → Calendar)
2b. Add a new remote calendar (On the Network → CalDAV)
As a location enter the following, be sure to replace your email address(your-email-address):

We have the same problem. We can see old events, but we can't add new one or edit old events. We can only add event on google calendar (gmail) and then sync thunderbird calendar. How can we fix it?

[edit, 2014/10/23] The Update 1.0.2 works 1 day only. Thanks @ Philipp for fast bugfix! But now I see no events, after sync same result; Only the holyday calendar of google works in read-only-Mode [edit]
I installed latest version 1.0.1, but it doesn't works, First I receive everytime the error with not enough quota and the calendar will switched off by itself. If I switch it on and I see a 1 sec sync and it shows nothing or not all events. Can't create new events.

I have been using the Provider for long time, without any problem. Unfortunately, after upgrading to version 1.0.1 I i had the same problem described in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/reviews/637372/.
I downgraded to 0.32, blocked auto-updating and now all my calendars show in lightning without any problem.
My advice to everyone experiencing problems: downgrade to 0.32 until the problem is solved

Philipp: the quota exceeded bug is real. Please take down this version and go back to 0.3, and only upload v.1.0.1 after you have fixed the quota problem. The new version looked great, but...

I know your angle, but if I do this I won't ever reach a point where it works. If users don't try to hammer the server with requests, I won't see how many requests are needed. I have a version coming up that reduces the requests and should make the situation far better.

The extension is a victim of its own success.
The method it's using to access our info is exceeding the developer's quota. Again.
Philipp, we need you to review the extension to use our own quotas, not yours.

Avec la version 1.0.1 on peut maintenant synchroniser les tâches ! Par contre, les tâches ces sont dupliquées :(
La synchronisation des agendas est par contre très instable depuis la version 1.0.1.
À corriger d'URGENCE !!!
