Unless the developer rewrites their addon for the new api, no workarounds. Same as firefox.
Either stick with old ff/tb or give up the installed addons, or see if there's another addon that might work.
Me, I've chosen to stay with the older ff/tb, for now. Though I use palemoon for a browser, and am looking at sylpheed/claws as tb replacement.

audiodef,
Do not dispair! Thunderbird 60.3.0 works fine with Lightning. I too had trouble with Lightning when I upgraded to 60.3.0, but the trick is to uninstall the existing non-working Lightning and then re-install the latest Lightning. It works perfectly in Thunderbird 60.3.0 in Gentoo for me. I currently have the following Thunderbird Add-ons working fine with Thunderbird 60.3.0:
- ConfigDate 0.8
- ExQuilla for Microsoft Exchange 60.0
- ImportExportTools 3.3.0
- Lightning 6.2.3
- Provider for Google Calendar 4.1
- Send Later 6.4.3
- SmartTemplate4 1.5.1

After switching to latest ThunderBird, I got disappointed Firetray wouldn't world anymore,
but I found this firetray comment, someone forked firetay and patched it to work with TB 60+,
just gotta build it yourself |

I also notice that someone else has released a firetray-0.6.2.xpi for Thunderbird 60: https://github.com/Ximi1970/FireTray/releases
Great examples of the benefit of open-source versus closed-source software, and of the bazaar versus the cathedral. I have not tried FireTray myself, but perhaps I should.

Yes, if you merged Thunderbird with USE="lightning" then the latest Lightning Add-on is already installed. If I recall correctly, when I installed Thunderbird 60.3.0 with USE="lightning" but Lightning didn't work, I selected 'Tools' > 'Add-ons' and clicked 'Remove' for the non-functioning Lightning, and the new Lightning 6.2.3 automatically appeared in the list after I restarted Thunderbird. Something like that, anyway, but I can''t recall precisely now. The important thing is that Lightning does work with Thunderbird 60.
Thunderbird 60.3.0 is still an excellent e-mail client in my opinion and still my e-mail client of choice.
