Under Thunderbird, I get the same results.  Closing the calendar segfaults
Thunderbird.  Also, the calendar appears to be non-functional when it is
displayed.  The calendar allows change of days, but none of the other buttons
work, and adding new things in not possible.

calender function is being removed from firefox/thunderbird.

[Comment 3 Stuart Longland (RETIRED) 2006-09-25 19:59:16 UTC]

As Jory points out... the latest versions of Firefox do not implement a 'mozcalendar' USE flag, nor does Firefox 1.0.6 exist in the tree anymore.

If you're looking for a calendar extension for Firefox, have a look at the Calendar Project: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/

Since support for the calendar has been removed, I'll mark this RESOLVED::WONTFIX.

I'm fine with that.
