Hello:
I started with the same proble.
By following that advice:
`ln -s /home/pang/.thunderbird /home/pang/snap/thunderbird/common/`
my profile does appear in the list when I run `thunderbird -P`, but then
1. I get the following output
```
[GFX1-]: glxtest: libpci missing
ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment.

```
2. then a popup window appear with the text
```Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird,
you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or
use a different profile.```, and an "ok" button
3. When I click the ok button, the window closes, and thunderbird does
not raise.
Is this the same bug?

Before I had also tried moving the whole ~/.thunderbird folder to ~/snap/thunderbird/common/ (which does essentially the same thing as your rsync) I just get the error message that you can see in the attached screenshot. When I move back the empty profile I get what you'd expect: An empty profile with no settings etc. ** Attachment added: "Thunderbird_SNAP_FUBAR_2024-03-11_13-16-23.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056668/+attachment/5754808/+files/Thunderbird_SNAP_FUBAR_2024-03-11_13-16-23.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056668 Title: Thunderbird Snap migration loses user profile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/2056668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
