The previous comments describe the currently expected behavior.

The Mozilla toolkit developers introduced a strict dependencies mechanism on Linux that affects extensions with binaries components like Lightning.

Therefore each Thunderbird release currently requires its own Lightning release.
Use Lightning 2.6 for Thunderbird 24.0
Use Lightning 2.6.1 for Thunderbird 24.0.1
Use Lightning 2.6.2 for the soon to be released Thunderbird 24.1

There is work going on to loosen up this dependencies mechanism but it will take some time until this patch is available in Thunderbird.
