I followed the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1364439 After pasting in the URL of the Google Calendar from the browser, the process asks for the password used for the Google account. I provide the password, but the response is "The credentials you have entered were not accepted."

To confirm that the user name (my Gmail account) and password were entered correctly, I logged out of Calendar on the browser and logged in again using the credentials that were refused by the Create New Calendar process.

This isn't a showstopper, but it would be nice to have the calendar in Thunderbird.

Looking at your screenshot, "Google Calendar" is not a user name. You need to provide your Gmail email address as user name.

Where in the instructions you cited does it say you should paste the URL of the Google Calendar from the browser? Don't do that.

Well, that was a classic bit of stupidity on my part. I misread user name and filled in what I thought would just be a human-readable name. Because I did that, the Location line didn't populate, so I used the URL.

Problem resolved, and thanks.
