I downloaded Lightning and ImportExportTools extensions onto my MintLinux machine from your addons page, using Firefox. These were both downloaded from your site where you recommend them as featured extensions. When I tried to load the files into Thunderbird, it refused, claiming that the extensions were unverified. Firefox version 45.0 Thunderbird 38.6.0 LinuxMint Cinnamon 17.3 How can I get these extensions installed? Can I disable the validation? I am am experienced user. I only download form reputable sites.

Given Thunderbird does not bother with the verified stuff Firefox does, it sounds to me like your trying to install them in Firefox.

Have a look here for instructions on installing and add-on.
