About this Add-on
Lightning Nightly Updater is an extension for Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1 and up. It adds a menu item to the Help toolbar menu, from which you can install the latest nightly build relevant to your OS and Tb version. You can also just check if today's build is out and open the corresponding Mozilla's FTP folder.
Note: If you don't often download Lightning nightly builds (or are happy with a simple download link bloating your browser bookmarks), then this extension is essentially useless to you =)
As far as I know, there are 6 different FTP directories for the latest Lightning nightly builds: For each Tb build (branch, trunk) there is one directory for each OS (Lin, Mac, Win). The extension is supposed to detect which OS and Tb build (version 3.1 or up) you're using, so you get to the relevant download location!
