RHEL7 without thunderbird :-(
Speaking of which, the tb-24 update in 5.10 is totally broken. Cannot get lightning calendar to work all, even after starting with a fresh setup.
There are two calendar toolbars, the New Calendar iitem and nearly everything else in this menu are grayed out, and the Day/Week/Multiweek/Month tabs don't work.
tb-24+lightning 2.6.4 certainly work fine on my machine at home (not CentOS).

Try to export your calendars and import them on a fresh install, see if the problem persists.

Don't think I can do that with Exchange calendars.
Anyway, the CentOS6 version works fine, even coming from a 17.x profile, so there definitely is a problem with the CentOS5 version.

There are 2 known issues in the CentOS-5.10 version that work in the CentOS-6.5 version ... both these issues also exist in RHEL-5.10 (so they need to be fixed upstream):
1. The mozilla compiled lightning uses a newer glibc than is available in EL5 ... therefore it will not work with the EL5 Thunderbird. There is a thunderbird-lightning package in EPEL testing for EL5 (thunderbird-lightning-2.6.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm) that should address this issue. The upstream mozilla compiled plugin works for EL6. Here is the EL5 x86_64 link to download:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/testing/5/x86_64/
(Or install EPEL and turn on the testing repo and install thunderbird-lightning)
2. External http, https, and ftp Links may not work from thunderbird:
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=43984
Specifically, if you modify the following options to true:
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https
Then when clicking on a link, add this as the initial path:
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/open-browser.sh
(or /usr/lib/thunderbird/open-browser.sh if you are using the i386 arch)
Then it will work as expected.
Again, both of these issues also exist in RHEL-5.10 so need to be addressed upstream for a final fix.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
Thanks for the update, Johnny.

This is still broken for my use case (Lightning plus "Exchange 2007/2010 Calendar and Tasks Provider 3.1.3). Launching tb from a terminal, when you configure the calendar and either enter the settings manually, or select Exchange autodiscovery, then click on "Check server and mailbox" or "Perform autodiscovery", resp., the following errors are shown, resp.:
1st-setup: Error: Warning: Error during creation of erPrimarySMTPCheckRequest. Err=ReferenceError: erPrimarySMTPCheckRequest is not defined
or
1st-setup: Error: Warning: Could not create erAutoDiscoverRequest. Err=ReferenceError: erAutoDiscoverRequest is not defined

This works, although I didn't try if it works without.

Yeah. That's been broken for a couple of years. Ever t-bird update I do (I'm still on 5.x at home, pending my rebuild of my hardware...), I did manage to get it to open http, but not https - I'll have to try Johnny's fix on that, but I have to edit openbrowser.sh, because it seems to be if you're not running gnome, it doesn't work at all. I have to add for it to just run the browser after it checks for no URL specified to tell it to exec firefox "$URL"; exit;
mark, annoyed, and not running gnome

Yes, my fix only works for gnome ... it might work for KDE if the defaults are setup via the system preferences. If not, then one would need to use firefox $url, as mark has suggested.

That is another 3rd party plugin ...
I downloaded "exchangecalendar-3.1.3.xpi" and extracted it and I do not see anything inside there that is glibc specific (no binaries that are dynamically linked) so, I see no reason it would not work with the EPEL lightning from testing. That said, I can not test it as I don't have that environment.
