I had a similar feeling issue with firebug in firefox, with a similar solutions. I am using Lightning 1.9, and Thunderbird 17.0.3 Although this problem started earlier and whatever caused it might have been carried over. The only error I get that seems significant is this one. All the other specifically refer to a newsgroup or rss feed

Timestamp: 2/25/2013 12:45:17 PM
Error: ERROR addons.manager: Exception calling provider startup: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFile.directoryEntries]” nsresult: “0×80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)” location: “JS frame :: resource:///modules/XPIProvider.jsm :: recursiveLastModifiedTime :: line 1315″ data: no]
Source File: resource:///modules/XPIProvider.jsm
Line: 1315

I tried to manually delete the lightning extension folder and came a across a strange issue where I was unable to delete a few things despite having admin permissions.

My solution to this and the firebug thing was to create a fresh profile, install lightning, and then manually copy from the old profile to the other, all my personal data, as instructed on this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Thunderbird

Everything is happy again. So whatever was preventing this from working was obviously not contained in any of the transferred files.

Hope this helps someone.

Unfortunately, these messages don’t show anything related. Are there no other error messages?

Do you get any error console messages?

This might be fixed in the upcoming release.

Using Lightning 1.9 with latest T’bird build. Having a heck of a time trying to delete events (single or recurring) *if* I have offline support turned on (suing Google calendar, via calDav). If I turn offline support off, I can create or delete events no problem. But, with offline support *on*, no such luck. I didn’t have this problem with offline support in Lightning file:///C:/Users/blahblahblah/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/bb4vmey1.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js :: notifyFunc :: line 1361″ data: yes] STACK: 1: [resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm -> file:///C:/Users/blahblahblah/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/bb4vmey1.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js:1364] notifyFunc

Open to suggestions? As of now, the “offline support” option for me is decidedly “broken”.

I don’t know if this is the same thing I’m getting, but periodically I lose the ability to update calendars and tasks. Mostly I am using iCloud. I did not notice this prior to an upgrade to Thunderbird 17.0 and concomitant upgrade to Lightning 1.9. Google Provider 0.18, but I barely use my Google calendar.

No error message of any kind – it simply ignores whatever has been done. Open the task or event, make a bunch of changes, save it, and the changes are simply ignored. This is happening cross-platform, Windows 7 and Mac OS X Mountain Lion. (Have some Linux systems as well, but not properly built up yet, so no Thunderbird functioning there yet.)

I have figured out that deselecting the “offline support” for the calendar/tasks, waiting for the resync (the events/tasks all disappear, then slowly come back), then selecting “offline support” again (causing everything to disappear again, then slowly reappear again) seems to fix it for a few hours, until the next time it happens. The first time it happened, before I discovered this trick, the recovery was much more painful.

I have updated to Thunderbird 17, updated all google addressbook and calander add-ins, but still am unable to view calander.

I am using Windows XP on a Dell laptop, and everything worked fine until the updates.

Hi, I forgot to mention, that I set syncronizing to manually and there is quite a bit of info in the error console:
