I'm on a Linux Pop!_OS 22.04 (Ubuntu-like) system, running flatpak 1.0/Thunderbird Supernova 115.8.0. I'm attempting operations from the inbuilt profile manager, accessed via Help>Troubleshooting Info/about.profiles. There, I find the expected "default-default" and "default" profiles, already pre-installed. I'm experimenting with creating and deleting a third "TestProfile" 1. I can create and remove TestProfile in the "Local Directory" ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.thunderbird/cache/thunderbird, the same location as default-default. 2. As a rule, the Open Directory buttons open the corresponding Local Directories (Intermittently, c creating and removing TestProfile mysteriously relocates the default directory up from under cache to under org.mozilla.Thinderbird. A restart fixes that, and I don't use that directory anyway.) 3. NONE of the Open Directory buttons actually opens the "Root Directory" files listed for each profile, likely because there are NO Root files in the indicated locations. 4. I am unable to create TestProfile anyplace else but within ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.thunderbird/cache/thunderbird. Such attempts force creation of another entry in /run/user/1000/doc/xxxxxxxx/TestProfile.
QUESTION: Are there restrictions on where I can create and locate profiles (including remote media), or are these obstacles actually bugs, possibly associated with flatpak or Linux?
Help Appreciated.
