<br>
</span>NO. It is true that TB now include Lightning, but as ''distribution<br>
extensions'' (eg in %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla<br>
Thunderbird\distribution\extensions\) and not as ''system'' one (eg, in<br>
%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\).<br>
<br>
There's a big difference!!!<br>

</span>Seems random trouble. Also i've never hit that, but there's some bugs<br>
opened and some posts on thunderbird enterprise list.<br>

<br>
Seems correlated only on ''distribution'' way of installing extension.<br>
