Briefly describe your issue below:
Everytime I reboot my laptopt and reopen Thunderbird, it asks for my account again, as if this was the first use of Thunderbird.
I tried running parrot-upgrade, which I read from another post (see link below) has solved the problem for another user. This also worked for me at the beginning. However after some other reboots, the problem is back.
What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
version 4.7 Security edition
amd64
What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Debian Standard
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
Yes, with Windows 10

I am seeing the same thing now as well. Just added 6 email accounts yesterday, downloaded email, replied to some…after reboot, Thunderbird “forgot” everything.
I am having the same issue =/ there is nothing I need to upgrade and the only way my profile is loaded is through firejail --noprofile thunderbird. Occasionally my profile will load but only if I restart thunderbird multiple times.
As far as I remember the thunderbird docs state, that thunderbird should not be opened with an active Firefox profile. Close Firefox open Thunderbird and it should work, or open Thunderbird before you open Firefox. Well, at least that is the trick that does it for me. It has nothing to do with parrot, firejail or something, it is simply a firefox profile manager thing. With the firejail option you simply bypass the active firefox profile.
When it happens to me, I open a terminal and start thunderbird from there.
/usr/bin/thunderbird
If you use multiple thunderbird profiles, or need to a new one. FWIW, I use some mail accounts only via tor so have a separate profile with torbidy.
/usr/bin/thunderbird -profilemanager
