Maybe as long as Lightning from addons.mozilla.org works and contains localization data (see bug 189054 and bug 227379). > In the former case, are there any suggested replacements? > Or can Lightning be installed independently of the port? After r470672 Linux version of Lightning installed from addons.mozilla.org should work fine. However, r470672 accidentally disabled FreeBSD version of Lightning which I've later fixed by r470675. > > Any pointer to what's going on here more generally? > > Has this anything to do with the (imminent?) switch to version 60? I haven't looked yet at Thunderbird 60 and how it handles Lightning.
