However..... as per antoher review, one needs to remove previous xml linked calendars and relink using just the associated email address.... this works fine UNTIL the conx is lost then you need to go to each cal and open it and "Switch" it back, each time!!!

The current version shows a new "login popup" window that after submitting your credentials, it says "Your browser doesn't support javascript". There is no option to fix this.

i can see only new events created after installing 1.0.1, if I create a new event (from thuderbird) i see it on my google account calendar and vice versa; old events (future and past events) olthouhg present in my google calendar account i can't see them in thuderbird.
sorted by re-subscribing as suggested.
Could you try re-subscribing to the calendar? This should be a one time issue.

New version doesn't work at all. I had several times to go back to the previous version 0.3.2.
First it works but after a few days, a lot of events disappear. Synchronisation doesn't work bcause the events are always there on google agenda but not in thunderbord using this 1.0.1 version. A few days later, no event in the agenda...
Please go back to the previous version and improve it!

Worked great before the recent update. First it gave repeated warnings that the server is not responding or something, then when i deleted that task in google calendar now that entire calendar is gone from thunderbird lighting.

new version 1.0.1 is OK, but .... when I insert new calendar (inside i have 8 shared calendars with other people), calendars is visible for first 20 second and then TB stop or very very very slow responsing... after uninstall addon is O.K.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1).Be patient. The first synchronize takes a while, especially with a large calendar. Once this is done, all subsequent synchronizations will be very fast because only changes are synchronized. Do you know about how many events you have in your calendar? Maybe I can optimize performance based on this. Check the support link for my email.

The new version 1.0.1 is not compatible with the Thunderbirthday-addon:

New one is easier to setup because the special link is no longer needed from Gmail.

Addition to my former text:
I found a way to install Google Calender 1.0.1 (after it was deinstalled):
- download the xpi file from this website
- rename it (simpe name: e.g. Google_calender)
- open addons menu in Thunderbird
- drag and drop the xpi file in addons menu
- restart Thunderbird
- add new calender...

Love this Add-on! Have come to depend upon it. Thank you for your work!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1).You say you removed the Provider version 0.25, as far as I remember I don't have any code to influence reminders in that version. Could you try updating to 1.0.1? I've made a lot of reminder changes there. For support please use the support forum link or email.

Avec la version 1.0 j'ai réussi à faire apparaitre les calendriers principaux. Comment ?
J'ai exporté l'agenda suivant la méthode sur cette page https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37111?hl=fr&topic=1672003
puis supprimé tout les évènements du même agenda
et importé l'agenda "basic.ics" dans le même agenda suivant la méthode https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37118?hl=fr&topic=1672003&ctx=topic
En plus, vous pourrez ajouter des tâches synchronisées avec votre compte google.

I'm a long time user too. Now I have error: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-unifinder.js:531 and my TB hangs. Please help. I can't live without it. :)

I'm a long-time user of Provider for Google Calendar. Yesterday I began having the same problems everyone else is complaining about. I was using an outdated version of TBird and Lightning and Provider. I upgraded each, including Provider .32. Unsubscribed from all three calendars Google calenders. Re-subscribed to each using Private XML for 2 (bi-directional) and Public XML (read only) for one, and everything is working perfectly again.
No surprises in all of this... just a normal matter of carefully upgrading and redoing things which happens with all kinds of software.
To those who are disgruntled, keep on trying: Provider really does work very well.

I use the Add-on "Provider for Google Calendar" since a long time. It worked always very well!
The Update to 1.0 had a bug. I have installed the old version 0.32 and it worked perfekt again.
I wrote a mail to Philip. The support with email is perfect!
He send me the version 1.0.1. And also this version works perfect.
Thanks Philipp for your great work and thaks for providing the add-on!

Have come to rely on my calendar within lightning, but the upgrade wiped everything! have tried downgrading back to .25 but get only 2-3 error messages . What is the fix for this? I'm just a regular person not a superuser, so are there step-by-step instructions somewhere to bring back my calendar?
UPDATE - Hey Philipp - THANKS, it really did work (I was just an idiot the 1st time in skipping a key step,duhhh). Thanks for speedy reply & help. Cheers!
Sorry this is happening. You will need to remove the calendars locally and re-subscribe using the usual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-lightning-google-calendar

Deinstalled v1 and reinstalled .25 but didn't work... had to remove everything including the local files in 'calendar-data'... reinstalled .25 and couple restarts, and now it works. Plus, it magically retrieved the categories... not sure if they are stored as metadata on Google's calendar or some local DB that was preserved in the process.
However, this process takes a long time as the add-on needs to recreate it's cache file in "profile > calendar-data". It took me almost two hours.

with the newest upgrade I am not getting any google calendar at all. I am getting an error about "quotaExceeded"??? Never got that before. Also, I have been requested to signin ,my email and my secondary calendar account email as well. can you please fix. I have to resort to using Google online until thunderbird calendar is fixed.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.32).I'm working on upping the quota, but its not something that happens instantly. I didn't expect this amount of requests. For now, please downgrade to 0.32 or 0.25 (depending on your Thunderbird version) and re-subscribe to your calendars.
I've taken down version 1.0 for just this reason.

For those who had also problems since yesterday with this plug-in I may have a solution. For me it was simple, just update Thunderbird and/or Lighting and also reinstall this add-on so you have the latest version 0.32.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.32). This user has a previous review of this add-on.To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
