The attach option is blanked out when I open an event. Have no idea why!

This has a long history: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168680

If you right-click in the event Attachments box, a URL can be inserted, and according to a recent discussion, the same can be done with local files.

Many thanks for this.

Actually, having looked at this again, the weblink option is also blanked out when I right click on the attachment box. So even this option isn't available!

Hiya - thanks for your input. The calendar is a google calendar linked into Thunderbird through two add-ons: 1. Lightning 2. Provider for Google calendar

I disabled, restarted and then enabled these add-ons, but the problem is still persisting.

So the attachment is only available if the calendar doesn't synchronise to an online calander?
