Have you tried to look also in /var/log/messages as the user did in this
bug report?

The bug report you mentioned is about a thunderbird profile which is not
directly placed in /home/$username/.thunderbird which AppArmor can't get
handled correctly without further tuning.

You have installed and enabled the apparmor package, I'm quite sure you
also have a enabled AppArmor profile for Thunderbird.
The thunderbird package isn't installed with a enabled AA profile by
default. Please check for some log entries in /v/l/messages about denied
access. Append such log entries to this report.

https://wiki.debian.org/AppArmor/Reportbug#Provide_logs_and_inspect_AppArmor.27s_state_on_the_system

You can disable the TB AA profile if you are sure you don't want to
AppArmor protection for TB by executing the following commandline:

 $ [ -f /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.bin.thunderbird ] || ln -s 
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird  /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.bin.thunderbird

You will need to restart the apparmor package afterwards. But we would
like to see the potential source for the blocking by AppArmor to fix and
tune the existing profile.

 $ sudo service apparmore restart

Carsten
