- No birthdays calendar
- Main calendar has only 4 events which are recurring forever.

8. Click on the close button on the TB window, nothing happens.
9. Wait few seconds, unresponsive script error is shown.

After relaunch, TB should resume fetching/syncing calendar.

Can you try playing with the calendar.threading.latency value? It should not be higher than the default 250, and not lower than 60. Also, please enable calendar.debug.log and calendar.debug.log.verbose in the config editor under options > advanced > general > config editor, then check for error messages after reproducing the issue again.

Needs to change "Lightning" to "Calendar", and needs a version.

Needs to change "Lightning" to "Calendar",

No, as Ben previously mentioned, we are not doing that. It would be needless churn. Furthermore, this bug already has "calendar" in the summary.
Regarding version, if it is an old bug then it's not worth the work determining the original version. If it was a recent regression (which this is not), then yes it is worth filling in the version.
In general, the suggestions you are making are of little value and amount to spam. PLEASE STOP.
