Thunderbird 24.0.1 and Lightning bug.

Lightning 2.6 does not work with TB 24.0.1. If you have updated (from
Mozilla repo in openSUSE 12.3 or update repo in 13.1, I suggest you go
back to an earlier version or try Lightning 2.6.1.

Thanks for the heads up, I am still at TB24.0 from the 12.3 KDE 4.11 repo.
Lightning 2.6.1 auto-updated and broke my calendar, appears Lightning 2.6.1 does not work with 24.0, although Mozilla site says it does.

If you are in my situation, delete Lightning 2.6.1 add-on and manually install Lightning 2.6 from HERE

I got the following reply from Stefan Sitter in the
mozilla.support.calendar newsgroup.

It is Thunderbird that is broken but Lightning has to work around it for
now by doing a new release matching each Thunderbird release.

Use Lightning 2.6 for Thunderbird 24.0
Use Lightning 2.6.1 for Thunderbird 24.0.1
Use Lightning 2.6.2 for Thunderbird 24.1 (soon to be released)

########

Anyway, I’ve just updated TB 24.0 to 24.0.1 again. This time Lightning
is working OK as version 2.6.1 was installed automatically when TB did
its plug-in checks.

Lightning 2.6.1 definitely works with TB 24. Mine did not auto-update, so i installed it manually. You might try that. Also, how are you connecting to Google? I am using Provider for Google Calendar 0.25.

Was that TB 24 or 24.0.1? TB 24.0.0 works quite happily with Lightning
2.6.0 but 24.0.1 must have 2.6.1.
