Hi, I just got a new machine, moved my profile folder over, and installed the latest Thunderbird 78 before seeing the warnings about waiting. Oh well, done now.Thunderbird Google Contacts
At this point, I just want to get my Google Calendar accessible. The settings seemed to move over with the profile, since it can be seen in the Calendar dropdown, but when I double-click the calendar the popup message is 'The provider for this calendar could not be found. This often happens if you have disabled or uninstalled certain addons.'
I tried unpublishing it to start over, but after every Thunderbird restart the greyed out Google Calendar is still there.
So instead I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the following:

Thunderbird Google Tasks
However, when I then try to create a new calendar, choosing 'On the network' as I'm supposed to, there are only 'iCalendar' and 'CalDAV' options, not 'Google Calendar'. It appears this no longer works with Thunderbird 78. Nor does any other addon I tried. Help!
