 This is a bug. It will happen each time you do someting withh your extensions (install, delete, update). The next time you start TB/FF everything is fine.
+===What is the difference between a task and an event?===
+The following definitions are from the calendar help glossary:
+'''event''' - A calendar entry that represents something that will happen whether you take action or not. For example, meetings and birthdays are events.
+'''task''' - A calendar entry that represents some action by you. For example, writing a report and visiting a client are tasks.
+In general, an event is something you schedule on the calendar, and it happens at a specific time and place.  A task occurs over time, and while it may need to be started at a specific time or completed by a specific time, the task itself does not.
+Finally, it should be noted that tasks can only be displayed in the main calendar in certain views. (ie. multiweek)
+'''Example:'''
+A staff meeting is an event; it happens at 9:00am on the 10th.
+Calling everyone on staff to review the agenda for the meeting is a task;
+it must be completed by 5pm on the 9th.
