If you are using Thunderbird from the Fedora repo but Lightning from Mozilla, do not let Thunderbird upgrade the Lightning extension. It requires 24.0.1 to work. The current Fedora version is at 24.0.

Not exactly sure what you mean.... I use the repo versions of each and have
thunderbird-lightning-2.6-1.fc19.x86_64 thunderbird-24.0-3.fc19.x86_64
According to the Mozilla sites the latest release of each of these is...
Lightning Version 2.6.1 paired with T-bird version 24.0.1
There is a Lightning Version 2.7b1 but that requires T-bird version 25. and above. But, that is currently in Beta. Once T-Bird 25 is released I would expect the next version of Lightning to be also made available in the Fedora repos.

Between the time I posted and now, they fixed it! All is good.

I retract my "solved" message. Lighting 2.6.1 from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/versions/
does not work with the version of Thunderbird from the Fedora repo: thunderbird-24.0-3.fc19.x86_64
I am not using thunderbird-lightning from the repo.

Why not?

Because I use a lot of Thunderbird add-ons, not all of which are or may be in the repos. I suppose I shouldn't mix and match and should switch to Thunderbird from the Mozilla site, too.
My set of extensions:
CompactHeader (2.08) Dropbox for Filelink (1.01) Enigmail (1.6) Exchange EWS Provider (3.2.0-Beta48) Folder Account (6.0) Google Contacts (0.7.12) Lightning (2.6) Manually Sort Folders (1.1) Provider for Google Calendar (0.25) Signature Switch (1.6.12) .vcs Support (0.6.4)

Well, since the only overlap is Lightning I would simply go with using the repo version of lightning as opposed to moving to using T-Bird from the Mozilla site. I've got 9 other extensions installed and never have a problem.
