Lightning don't run without reinstall

Hello. I have a Thunderbird 68.10.0 (64-bit) version running Ubuntu 16.04.

 When I install the Lightning 68.9.0 module, the calendar logos appear at the top left, and the calendar works, but when I restart Thunderbird, the logos disappear and I cannot have the calendar or have them again without reinstalling the Lightning module.

However, when I restart Thunderbird, Lightning does exist in the list of installed modules. Currently I have to reinstall it every time I start Thunderbird. Do you have a solution to solve this problem.

 Thank you

The calendar addon is version specific. So if you have 68.10 Thunderbird you need version 68.10 lightning.

Or you could upgrade to 78 where the calendar is integrated so no addon issues can occur..

Thank you Matt for your quick response. I think I'll wait for lightning version 68.10 before trying anything else. Thank you again for your answer. fbo22
