Thanks for reaching out to us. I've usertagged this bug "help-needed"
for the AppArmor team.

The advantage of doing so is that anyone on the pkg-apparmor@ mailing
list will learn about it, instead of just Simon and myself. I kindly
suggest that you use this usertag in the future (bus factor and all
that :)

The usertags we use are documented there:

I believe this should incidentally be fixed by the updated profile you
(Carsten) merged a couple days ago.

W. Martin, can you please retry with this profile:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mozilla/thunderbird.git/tree/debian/apparmor/usr.bin.thunderbird
?
