Lightning Calendar Missing in Thunderbird

I thought there might be a problem with Thunderbird 133.0, so I attempted to install version 130 over it. I was told it was incompatible with version 133.0, so I uninstalled version 133.0 and installed version 130.

Since then, Lightning Calendar has been missing, even when I reinstalled version 133.0. The Events and Tasks tab is missing. Calendar does not appear in Add-ons and Themes. There is no trace of it anywhere. I uninstalled Tbird, deleted all of the folders for it and reinstalled Tbird, again. No luck.

The calendar has been an integrated part of Thunderbird for along time now. Since about version 68. So lightning the addon has been obsolete and not maintained for an equally long time.

The release version is 128, the beta is 138 Beta4 and daily, the developer build, claims to be 135. V130 is an abandoned Beta to the best of my knowledge. It is certainly not a supported build.

I have both the release and the daily builds installed and Alt+3 opens a calendar tab in both the versions I have installed. How does your experience differ?.

Very helpful. Alt+3 brought up the calendar and the "Events and Tasks" tab.

If that was documented somewhere, I never found it, obviously.

My frustration is over. Thank you so much.

It is on the spaces toolbar. I turn it off as a space waster, but it still retains that rump on the main toolbar so it is one click away.
