My Mozilla Thunderbird calendar syncs with my GMail calendar and also includes some holiday dates. It has just gone completely blank - no entries from any of the calendars. I've tried synchronizing it, but it says "no messages to download". What's gone wrong? I've seen the replies to other similar questions which say go to Options Advanced but I can't see an Advanced option in my Options. Thanks.

What is the version of TB and of the add-on for syncing the Google calendar?

more options

I'm on Thunderbird 78.4.0 and the add-on is the Provider for Google Calendar - don't know the version, but there's a thread here saying that Provider is disabled on TB 78.4.0 with a suggestion to re-load it.

I am having this same problem... I am having it on multiple computers, all with same accounts and settings... I reinstalled the Provider for Calendar plug in on one computer, the other is a new configuration, I installed this plugin on that one and I still don't have the calendar on either system.... Both Computers are running the latest Windows patches (I check updates every Friday - automatically and manually) Both Computers are running Firefox 78.6.0 Please let me know what to do next... I rely on my calendar daily (I have it synced up on my android phone & tablet as well as on multiple Computers.

There is a workaround to this problem which I now use. Go to the list of calendars, and right-click on Home. Select "Show Only Home". Then right-click on "Show All Calendars" and they reappear. It's a nuisance, but it does work (at least for me!)

Thanks, this workaround is helping me with the same issue.

This is RIDICULOUS! It's a known problem - STOP putting it on users to find and fix this EVERY UPDATE!

AND, a Big One. WARN people before installing an update that KILLS plug-ins that I DEPEND ON !@!@!!! All of a sudden things don't work ... I'm trying to do my job ... and I spend hours messing with getting back to a working state. Unacceptable!

Funnily enough, my calendar seems to be working perfectly now. Maybe they've fixed it!
