Hello. I'm using Thunderbird 31.2.0/Lightning 3.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.10. Calendar shows current time one hour past it's real value, while all other applications show it correcly. Event times are slow correct. Probably this is because recent Russian timezonse modifications. Please suggest how can I fix timezone for current time. Thank you!

I believe the Lightning settings are here: Windows: Tools > Options… > Lightning > Timezone

Ubuntu... Edit > Preferences > Lightning > Timezone

I have Edit > Preferences > Calendar > Timezone set to Europe/Moscow (same settings as for Ubuntu and Excnahge). Still I have current time in Lightning hour later then system time, while event are displayed correctly. Please suggest can I adjust Europe/Moscow timezone by myself? Thank you.

I think you should file a bug. My guess is no one is aware of the changes to the Moscow timezone and the data file used needs updating.

I have the same problem with Thunderbird 31.6.0 on Gentoo, which is the latest release as of the time of writing. But the Thunderbird trunk seems to have this fixed. Weird, since the timezone change occurred on 26th of October, about 7 months ago.

I filed a bug yesterday, which was closed with the comment that the bundled timezones had been updated in Thunderbird 38.

Pastafarianist Many thanks for your update and bug report.

38 is actually a week over due for release, so I suggest you just install the beta if you can not wait for the official release.
