I believe I was running 38.5.0 when I installed Lightning today. My email and calendar information is obtained from gmail account. OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.

Thank you. This seemed to work. Lightning activated when Thunderbird restarted. Will this mean that it is likely that Lightning will remain after the next Thunderbird update?

Not necessarily. But a solution is being worked on.

I believe I was running 38.5.0 when I installed Lightning today.

From your statements above I can't make any sense of what you did.

Please explain in more detail what you did and what happened.

Yesterday I was running Thunderbird 38.5.0 (I believe). I installed Provider for Google Calendar And Lightning. Today, Thunderbird updated to 38.5.1. After the restart, Lightning was not active, but did show on the Extensions page of the Add-on Manager. I restarted again, and Lightning disappeared from the Extensions page. Provider never changed.

How do I restore Lightning now, and maintain it in the future when Thunderbird updates?

Can you post a screenshot of the Add-ons Manager window with the entry for Lightning visible? http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem

I downloaded Lightning again yesterday. Thunderbird has been restarted twice since then and yet Lightning remains inactive despite the Add-ons Manager indicating it will be activated on restart

Try this: Determine your profile folder via Troubleshooting Information.

Can you post your Troubleshooting Information? At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button , then select Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Folder > Open Folder

This will open the profile in Windows Explorer.

Close Thunderbird.

Temporarily stop your anti-virus real-time scanner.

Navigate to the extensions subfolder, and locate a folder {e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}. It is the Lightning extension. Delete that folder.

If there is a 'staged' folder delete it as well.

Start Thunderbird, and install Lightning again. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/

If it did work this time, turn anti-virus back on.

Thank you Wayne. In my excitement of fixing Lightning, I forgot to post the troubleshooting information. I hope this helps in the long term fix.

Oops. I copied the Troubleshooting to a Word document and just realized that only images can be uploaded. Is there any way that I can get that information out? at 15 pages, it is a little unwieldy to upload as images.
