Moving Thunderbird profile from flatpak install

felix456789

Hello, I tried following the steps on [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/.../moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer]. However, I currently have a flatpak installation where I land in a folder which also has executable among other files (?). I do not see the usually named profile folder and therefore cannot copy it to my new computer. Do you know how I can move in this case? Thanks

"~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird" is the folder on Linux flatpak installations.
