Still working out how to deploy this but it needs to go on the ESR branch either way.

We have no more releases planned from 68.3 but I landed this there anyway to make a package for addons.thunderbird.net:

Please, publish a public release fast. For enterprise users this bug is very problematic! Thanks you for your good work.

It's already available: Go into the Add-ons Manager and click on the gear button. Now click on "Check for Updates". It should find a Lightning update. Then a TB restart is needed.

Actually, no update are detected.

I tried to manually update Lightning via https://addons.thunderbird.net/fr/thunderbird/addon/lightning/versions/ and it works now.

For some reason the add-on won't update automatically.

Anyways, thanks for the fix.

The auto update for this add-on bug fixes still not working.
Hopefully can resolve the auto update soon so that we do not need to do it manual for all our users.

I agree! For enterprise users. Manual installation is not a solution!
