OS: Windows 10 When Thunderbird 68.2.1 installed, I lost access to my google calendars. I uninstalled and reinstalled my add ons: Lightning (now 68.2.1) Provider for Google Calendar (68.0) gContactSync (3.1.7) I also ended up uninstalling the calendars I had previously (probably my bad) so what I am trying to do at this point is reinstall them. 1. My calendar tab currently looks like this <TBscreenshot1.jpg> 2. I right clicked in the Calendar sidebar to create new calendar, and select the 'on the network' button >TBscreenshot2.jpg> 3. Next screen I selected to create a google calendar <TBscreenshot3.jpg> 4. Next screen I entered my google account <TBscreenshot4.jpg> 5. Next few screens were from google to access the account, once accessed, to give Thunderbird appropriate permissions <TBscreenshot5.jpg> 6. Next screen that comes up is supposed to be populated with the calendar information and such, it is blank <TBscreenshot6.jpg>

Tools/Options(Mac:Preferences; Linux:Edit/Preferences)/Advanced/General/Config. editor, double-click general.useragent.compatMode.firefox to true.

Edit: updated Provider add-on 68.2.1 available.

This should fix google calendar and contact sync. in 68.2.1 until updated Provider and gcontactsync add-ons are released.
