I had this problem too. I have Thunderbird 24.0 and Lightning was 
automatically "upgraded" to 2.6.1, which didn't work.

I reinstalled Lightning 2.6.0, which solved the problem. I clicked "View 
Other Versions" on the page you referenced above to get the older version.

I also disabled future automatic updates by clicking the "More" link for 
Lightning in the Thunderbird Add-ons Manager.
