Click tools to add on Lightening. Lightening 3.3.1 appears and I click to add to Thunderbird. It downloads and a pop up box appears to to say You have chosen to open lightening. What should thunderbird do with this file. the options are open using Thunderbird a default or save file. Nothing about install and if I click open with thunderbird a new box opens for me to create a new message.

Nothing I do will install lightening.

Can anyone help? Thanks
