I am satisfied with the work of version 4.4.1 together with thunderbird 60

Was working great a few iterations ago. It works on 60 BUT I have to login to each calendar I want to display. Tedious, but workable. Emails to the dev to unanswered so I assume it's been abandoned. I've scoured the web for possible solutions. As much as I like having Lightning, it's not the only game in town. Adios, PFGC.

Used to be a great way of working with Google Calendar. However, at this point, even if you can subscribe to a calendar, no all of the information associated with an event will show up. Basically, if someone's using Google calendar to organize a Hangout or phone-call, the "Join by Hangouts" and/or "Join by Phone" fields aren't visible. Event organizers (that can be bothered to do so) have to dupe information into the generic "Description" event-field.
Anyone know any replacements for this plugin? Seems to have become abandonware.

Very useful over the years but currently broken. Running TBird 59 and PfGC 4.4.1, no calendars are listed when attempting to add a new calendar. I've cleared cookies and cache, reinstalled add-on, re-authenticated my Gmail account but nothing works. If I miss a WVU game, it's on you Phillipp! heh j/k kinda

Not working anymore. The suggestes CALdev (https://addons.thunderbird.net/nl/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/reviews/1154724/) doesn;t work either: I can create the calendar but not activate it.

Has served well over the years for the most part. I'v also run into issues recently though, being unable to add new calendars. In my case I removed the extension entirely and restarted TBird. On restart the extension force reinstalled itself and prompted for login credentials. Thankfully that fixed the issues I was having and I can now add calendars again. It's like an update did not go correctly at some point.

Problems with events / alarm since TB60 / 4.4.1
Alarm is set to None. Now I need to define a default google alarm on the web admin
Has worked before!

When the Provider for Google Calendar version is updated to 4.4 or 4.4.1, when I open an event setting alarm in the calendar, the alarm will change to "none" and it will be displayed.

Wonderful addon - since it is working again.
I had the Javascript-Problem. For me the solution was to set the 'javascript.enable' switch to 'true'
Go to: Tools > Options > Advanced > General and click "config editor".
Search for the javascript.enable
Set the value on 'true'
Restart TB
After the calendar has established the connection, it is possible to change the preference back to 'false'.

Sorry for using the rating for feedback. Just to say it: After the update I have the same problem with the request for cookies. Thus, the add-on does not work on my PC with Thunderbird 52.9.1, Provider for Google Calendar 4.4.1.
Updates:
Installed, Thunderbird 60.0, same problem.
Installed Provider for Google Calendar, older Version 4.4, same problem.
(The last PfGC version I could use was 3.3, but it is not declared to be compatible with TB 60.0. so I don't try it.)

Problem solved in the options for Thunderbird:
Privacy -> enable Cookies for Websites
pref.privacy.disable_button.view_cookies -> true

I have two google calendars that I would like to see, and my wife has shared one. The shared one I can see, and one of mine, but I cannot add the last one - when I try, I get a completely empty window from which I'm supposed to pick a calendar - but there is none to click on, so I can't continue.

After update to v52.9.1 I had to enable javascript in Thunderbird (not Firefox) to get the Gcal to prompt for login in order to sync.
Tools|Options|Advanced|General|Config.Editor
then type javascript.enabled at the top and make sure the option is true (grayed out as a default value)

Added a new calendar in Google, tried to add it in Tbird, nothing. Restarted Tbird, still won't refresh the list of calendars in my Google account.

Works perfectly - Should probably add the Setup instructions to the Extension page to save having to use the FAQ though.

The current version of this add on works perfectly on Thunderbird 60 with no errors, and does what it meant to do. I don't know what some people are on about...

Provider for Google Calendar funktioniert nicht mehr. Auch mit den älteren Versionen lassen sich keine Verbindungen mehr zum Google Calendar herstellen. Beim Start von Thunderbird erscheinen seltsame Fehlermeldungen "Cookies im Browser, die nicht zugelassen werden würden" Die Kopfzeile des Fensters ist nicht lesbar, das Fenster lässt sich nur über ALT+F4 schließen. Ich vermute, der Fehler liegt nicht bei dem Add-on Hersteller sondern direkt bei den Thunderbird Schraubern. Für den Nutzer ist es egal: es funktioniert jedenfalls nicht!
