Firefox developers decided that it is a good idea to drop support for binary XPCOM components in extensions. Therefore Lightning doesn't work anymore. Currently this affects Thunderbird 40 and newer too.
We tried to work around this by enabling the experimental icaljs library instead of libical library but it seems this doesn't work or there might be some more problems that need to be fixed to make icaljs work.
I switched my working profile from aurora to beta to get a working Lightning back. If you need your calendar I can only suggest to downgrade too until problems are solved.

To workaround the problem that binary extensions are not supported anymore we temporary enabled icaljs by default with Bug 1162300. But Lightning still tries to load libical and fails. Reason is that the preference "calendar.icaljs" is only read when it is set by the user but not when it is set by default.
