I want to be able to start "Thunderbird" in offline mode to use the "Lightning" calandar add-on. Several online sources say to use the command "$ thunderbird -offline", but that doesn't work. That command starts thunderbird in online mode. "$ thunderbird --offline" also doesn't work. Ubuntu 13.10 Thunderbird 24.3.0

There is an example here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Linux

replace ProfileManager with offline.

There is also a setting in AppMenu/Preferences/Preferences/Advanced/Network & Disk Space/Offline to have TB ask you for the state at startup.
