Thanks for your helpful replies.

Am I correct in understanding, the Thunderbird snap does not allow profiles to set paths to locations outside the snap confinement? And if so, is that something specific to running a live system or is it something any Lubuntu 24.04 installation is now stymied by?

Either way -- unless I'm missing something, which very well could be -- this seems like a pretty significant bug. There's probably a lot of use cases where a single Thunderbird installation has multiple profiles, each of which could have a different path. Say, one to an external HDD, another to a DVD-ROM, a third to a network location, a fourth to ...

And if it's also going on with Google Chrome, than it's an issue with everyone acclimating to and normalizing Snap, and not just Thunderbird. I will find the Chrome dmesg info, I may have pasted it before but maybe not. Thanks again.
