@u-jjohansen,

I had an interesting result today. I powered off my live 24.04 Lubuntu installation and rebooting into a new live 24.04 Lubuntu installation. This time, however, I installed Thunderbird stable as a .deb from Mozilla. And I ran my old script:

```
$ cat thunder.sh
cp -R /media/lubuntu/drive/startup/thunderbird /home/lubuntu/.thunderbird
cp /media/lubuntu/drive/startup/lubuntu_thunder/profiles.ini /home/lubuntu/.thunderbird/
```

After that, I started Thunderbird. After selecting my profile, instead of giving me the "already running" error message, Thunderbird let me into my usual everything: address book, old emails, etc. Everything seemed peachy keen! I did some work in Thunderbird, then closed the program.

Then later that same day, I tried to start Thunderbird a second time, and boom, I immediately -- meaning, without seeing the menu to select my profile -- I immediately got the "already running" error message: "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 Thunderbird refuses to open.

Let me know if you want me to run any diagnostic commands, I should have this live installation up for quite a while. Thanks!
