After the last two major updates to Thunderbird, birthdays entered in the Addressbook's Private tab for a Personal Address Book contact does not show up in the Calendar tab of Thunderbird or in the today mini calendar.

I am running Thunderbird 68.2.0 (64-bit) US English on a Windows 10 (64-bit) computer. I have been running Thunderbird since its initial release.

What I am complaining about is not an exotic feature, but a basic function in a calendar/address book app. Previously, there were add-ons that can accomplish a lot of missing features, but the change in Thunderbird structure alienated a lot of contributors and now we cannot look to add-ons to fill in the gaps in the Thunderbird features.

My understanding is the add-on that did that has not been updated past Thunderbird 60

I cannot believe that the developers ignored such a basic feature in an integrated calendar application.

Looks like Outlook is not that bad after all. And I avoided it for stability issues and other shortcomings.

As you like. The outrage of add-on authors is perhaps understandable, but they have had more than a years notice of each change. There is nothing the Thunderbird developers could do but eventually concede defeat in trying to maintain legacy add-ons support. Justto much had changed in the underlying Mozilla platform and the change is not over yet.

As for Birthday reminders in a calendar, I have no use for it at all, so I will not miss it. Facebook does all I need in that regard.

But I also use Google calendar and it also has a birthdays feature that works as my contacts are synchronized to google and hence my phone.

Thank you sfhowes. I installed the ThunderBirthDay version you mentioned and it works in version 68.2.0 (64-bit). A bit early, but it appears to work as well as in the older versions.
