Steps to reproduce:

Install Thunderbird 61.0a1, then install lightning 6.3a1, provider for google calendar 4.2a1 all 64bit. Tried to use calendar.


Actual results:

Thunderbird starts, but does not show calendar tab. Clicking on "Calendar" upper right does nothing. Calendar will stay closed.


Expected results:

Thunderbird starting, then showing calendar tab if it was open closing thunderbird. Closing calendar tab opening it by clicking on upper right calendar button opens new calendar tab.

That said, you don't need to install Lightning (from which ever source), it already comes bundled with Thunderbird and is actually working in TB 61 Daily, I'm using it now.

First, *remove* the add-on you installed, then restart. You should then get an option to enable it. If you do so, you will enable the packaged version.
I am seeing a similar error running Thunderbird 60.0b1 (32-bit) on Windows 10 with Lightning 6.2b1 en-US build 6.

The Error Console shows: No such tab mode: calendar  tabmail.xml:467
The error console has a full traceback if that is useful.
The tab mode error is not the first error in the error console, there are a variety of errors from CalUtils.jsm, calendar-widgets.xml, and lightning-migration.xul.
I think there is a version mix here, I've tried TB 60 beta on a new profile with the bundled Lightning and saw no problem. So start Thunderbird with -p and create a new profile and accept the Lightning installation.

To fix the existing profile, remove Lightning and reset the following pref:
extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}
That should re-invoke the bundled add-on.

For the record, if manually installed, these two should match:

Thank you for the hints. I tried creating a new profile, but no option to accept the default Lightning installation was offered. After repeating the process a few times, I deleted Thunderbird from the Windows control panel, downloaded and installed Thunderbird Setup 60.0b1.exe from the web, then created a new profile. This worked. I then went back to my original profile, deleted the Lightning Add-On, restarted, and voila, there was the integrated Lightning. 

I'm not sure what was getting in the way here, but somehow between the auto-upgrade of Thunderbird via the beta channel and my old manually installed Lightning beta, something managed to confuse the issue.
Removing the installed lightning to use the build in on helped. It is running now!
provider for google calendar does not work any more now?? Or is it internal too now?
What's the error? It's not internal.

Calendar add-on is now integrated with Thunderbird, so it is likely this issue should no longer occur and closing this bug report as a result.

Please comment if you are still seeing a problem when using a current version of Thunderbird.
