I looked at the logs:
    # tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep 'DENIED'

Unfortunately I get no messages, despite thunderbird fails to start.


However, you'r right!   The issue is now fixed with:
    # aa-disable /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird

You have AppArmor installed, please deactivate the AppArmor profile of
thunderbird or remove the installed apparmor package to check the
existence of this behavior. There are several bug reports already opened
because of the restrictions introduced by the apparmor profile.

Please read the instructions from the wiki site of AppArmor to do some
checking on your side.

Bug#883668: thunderbird: Can't start thunderbird through an ssh tunnel

[Christophe Lohr]

Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:52.4.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
  I'm facing a strange recent behavior.

I can't run thunderbird through an ssh tunnel.
Let's try:
$ ssh -Y localhost
$ thunderbird
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Unable to init server: Broadway display type not supported: localhost:10.0
Error: cannot open display: localhost:10.0

What does it means? Not a Broadway Xserver??

(Proposed workaround: start thunderbird within a Xephyr which is displayed via
the ssh tunnel...)

Best regards
