Chris,
   I've installed Calendar with no problems on TB 1.0.2.  As far as I know, it's
a pretty well tested installation, and I haven't seen any other reports like
this.  Can you think of anything unusual about your system or settings that
might be responsible for this?

No response from the reporter, and not enough information to reproduce.  
Marking WFM.

Chris,
    If you can respond with any other information that might help 
reproduce/identify this problem, then this bug can be examined more closely.

Some history of my TB installation...

First tried TBv.8x, upgraded to v.9x, then each release after 1.0x series.
Around v.9x I found the Calendar extension and loved it. Almost each release
worked fine with each update until TBv1.02 .

So, I went to download the Calendar extension again to reinstall. All looked
fine during installation, then when I click the calendar icon then it loads up
with no dates/events/tasks - all blank.


I downloaded Sunbird to hold me over but can't wait for this extension to work
for me again.  :)

When you say 'no dates', do you mean the numbers on the calendar don't show up
or that just the data you previously entered is lost?

[Chris Charlton]

Yes, "no dates" I meant none of my saved events show up, and sometimes the dates
in the calendar view show up as "NaN".

If it's just your data that's missing, then that's just a profile issue 
(perhaps caused by upgrading/reinstalling TB?).  I'm not sure where the old 
calendar data could have ended up, but if you're using Sunbird and have the 
data there, you should be able to generally follow the instructions here:

to get things working again in TB's Calendar.

However, this all sounds very different from what you originally reported 
about 'freezing'.  Is that still a problem?  If so, can you say:
1.) Are there any errors in the TB javascript console after Calendar freezes?
2.) Can you install/run Calendar without problems in Firefox?
