Been using TB and Lightning for 6 years. Suddenly TB will not operate with Lightning installed. ?? This started within the last week. 10/17/2014
TB V 24.6.0 TB works fine without Lightning. With Lightning installed anything I click to do, open email, open add-on tab, try to dismiss an alert from an appointment over a year old, open the calendar view, anything... cause TB to lock up and I see a Thunderbird Not Responding message. That will hang there for several minutes and then either it opens whatever it was I was selecting and then I go through the same process again with next selection or the message goes away and Thunderbird does nothing. If I uninstall Lightning and restart TB works fine. Currently Lightning is uninstalled.
This started the end of last week (around 10/10/14).

What version of Lightning? What type of calendar (local, or remote)? If remote, is this a Google Calendar? If yes, how do you access it, via CalDAV or via Provider add-on? In the latter case, what version of the add-on?
Lightning would be whatever the latest download, as of this morning 10/17. Looks like it is 3.3.1 right now. I am accessing Google calendars and it was setup with the CalDav. Last Friday I opened TB and started getting pop ups for Google account login stuff. I ignored the sign in but then couldn't see my calendars. So then I closed TB reopened and did the sign in. Google Provider 1.0.1 is in my extensions list. I do not remember it being there previously but I'm not real sure about that..
I'd suggest you confirm your set-up. If it's CalDAV get rid of the Provider add-on.
Did that and when I look at the calendar properties it shows them as googleapi://then my calendar address. That googleapi part is not in the url I copy from the Google calendar share page.
Told you wrong. I was using iCal not CalDav.
Just read a post that said the issue was the Google Provider 1.0.1. That user said he reinstsalled the older version of Provider and now he's happy again. Don't know how to get the older version back.
Lets start at the beginning. ICAL is read only
I suggest you try recreating your calendar using caldav, no need to get rid of anything until it works for you so no foul if it does not get you up and runnin g. I spent some time last week end trying to get to the bottom of this Google calendar issue and think CALDAV is the best way. At the very least it uses less add-ons. See http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/lightning-and-caldav.html
You will note from my blog post that the URL starts with HTTPS: not googleapi://
As for going backwards, Google have changed the way they do things, (at least I think so) going backwards is not usually a good idea as it leaves you in a backwater using old software and no upgrade path.
Lightning CALDAV plus G Provider 1.0.1 I'll give it a shot. Thanks and I'll update results later
