One of my calendars (I have 5) in Lightning is locked, so I can't create new events in that specific calendar. How do I unlock it?

I have 5 different calendars in Lightning (2.6.6). I can add events to 4 of them. The fifth is checked so that I can see all the events, but there is a little lock symbol next to the calendar name. When I open up the calendar properties, it is showing the Read Only box is checked, but I can't uncheck it (it is grayed out). I have been able to use this calendar plenty in the past.

Any ideas about how to unlock the calendar uncheck the Read Only box?

Right click the calendar, select Properties and clear the box for Read Only.

The Read Only box is grayed out, so I can't uncheck it.

Sorry I should have read further in your original post.

Is this a calendar that is synced with Google using the add on Provider? There have been some issues with the new version of Provider.

1. The Google Provider is ver 1.0.1. (Not sure who how new it is). The thing is, the 4 other calendars work fine..

2. Is there a different add-on instead of Provider that I should be using?

I do not use Google calendars but the forum has been full of issues with the sync add on provider.

Here is one that claims to have a solution. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025745
