Which exact versions are you using?

TB 58 beta with which 'Provider for Google Calendar' exactly?
You must use the one from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/candidates/6.0b1-candidates/build3/

Philipp, what can we do so that people find the matching add-ons for the beta versions better?
Even I had to go looking.

Provider for Google Calendar 0.18 Jan 21, 2017

and 

TB58.0b1

Firefox does not allow me to download the file at the web address http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/candidates/6.0b1-candidates/build3/  is this a newer version to the one I have?

Wrong the above is the provider for Microsoft Exchange  - version 0.18

Provider for Google Calendar is version 3.3

You *must* use the version I gave you. It's version 3.9.

Surely FF will allow you to right-click and do "Save Link As", for Linux64 it would be this link:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/candidates/6.0b1-candidates/build3/linux-x86_64/gdata-provider-3.9b1.en-US.linux-x86_64.xpi
