Basically if I open Thunderbird the normal way, it doesn’t use the profiles.ini file in .thunderbird home folder. It opens asking to create new accounts.

If I run with firejail --noprofile, it opens and runs with my profile and account settings, but then enigmail can’t reach .gnupg.

This problems occurs in both my laptop and desktop, one with KDE other with Mate.

I did have recent update, and I also did recently switch from firefox-esr, to the newer one in the parrot repo.

Thanks

OK, so a re-boot fixed this problem, on both machines.

I did reboot after parrot-upgrade, so I don’t know what caused the problem, but I think the issue can be closed.

If it happens again, I’ll udpate.

Thanks
