Before, the fix with the install.rdf file always worked great. I was able to update to version 7 and 8. But now when I change the version numbers to 9.0.1 google calendar tab won't open anymore. Any suggestions? This add-on is great and I don't want to miss it!!! There seems to be a problem updating google calendar tab to version 9.0.1.

There's nothing the add-on is doing that would prevent that. There seems to be a problem with Thunderbird that tasks aren’t showing up. There’s nothing the add-on is doing that would prevent that.

To do this, I hijacked the GoogleMailTab XPI file (http://electronsoftware.altervista.org/extensions/googlemailtab.xpi. I modified the googlemailtab.js file inside of the jar file the to point to https://mail.google.com/tasks/android instead of https://mail.google.com. Then I installed the XPI file in Thunderbird. When I click on the gmail icon, I get a tab where I can view and gmail tasks. I tried using the canvas URL (https://mail.google.com/tasks/canvas), but that had the same empty task list problem as discussed above. It's probably a problem with how the embedded Thunderbird browser handles javascript. The android version of the page doesn't use the same javascript code, so it doesn't cause that problem. I also tried the mobile version of the page, https://mail.google.com/tasks/m, but I prefer the android version. Bryan, would you be willing to create and post a new "Google Tasks" extension using this approach? I'm sure you'd make quite a few people happy!

Thank you for developing it! The only problem I'm having with it is that the task pane is empty -- I can't see existing tasks or add new ones. Everything works fine when I bring up the calendar in firefox. I am using Thunderbird 8. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions for working around it? Thanks.

You'll find it where you put your downloaded extention. If you have 7-zip you go to the calendar tab file (xpi) and open it. There you will see a few files, now open install.xpi with 7-zip and alter the version file. I'm sorry, but I cannot put it any clearer here......good luck!

Now, go with an archiver in the archive, I use win7.zip (search it on Google, it's free) There you will find the install.rdf. Open it with notepad and change the version nr. to 7.*.* It should work to TB 8 now! Ok, you’ve got the google_calendar_tab-3.8-tb.xpi.
