Lightning Keeps Enabling Itself?

Post by BorgInvasionReturns »

Anyone else have this same issue where you have the Lightning (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/calendar) disabled and every time Thunderbird does an update it gets re-enabled? Does TB do this? After every update, I have to disable Lightning again (I keep it in case I want to use it, but is disabled until then). It stays disabled until an update to TB happens and it gets enabled again. Been like this since last year (I take a long time to mention things online, due to time).

Seeing if I am the only one.

Thanks.

I've uninstalled it because I use the ReminderFox add-on for my calendar instead. Its a much simpler calendar add-on that just supports lists of reminders and ToDo's. There was a recent issue with the bundled version of Lightning (due to the bundling, not the actual add-on) causing problems with folder listings. The workaround is to uninstall it, download the add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... ng/?src=ss and re-install it. It doesn't effect everyone.

I haven't noticed any threads about Lightning getting re-enabled when you do a upgrade of Thunderbird. I also checked the calendar forum.
