Steps to reproduce:

I was observing that thunderbird cannot read the autoconfiguration file
/etc/thunderbird/defaults/pref since Ubuntu delivers thunderbird as a
snap package and not as a debian package anymore. It looks like an snap
misconfiguration in the appmarmor protection around the snap.

I don't think it is an error by thunderbird by itself,  but the snap
packaging, therefore I reported it to ubuntu

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/2069966

but they asked me to report it upstream (i.e. here) as well.


Actual results:

Didn't read autoconfiguration


Expected results:

Should read autoconfiguration

There appears to be a general problem with the SNAPs and the sand
boxing.  A number of support issues around accessing profiles and the
internet generally post update anyway.

  thunderbird snap breaks autoconfiguration

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I just tried to autoconfigure thunderbird under Ubuntu 24.04 following
   
  https://enterprise.thunderbird.net/deploy/mcd-thunderbird-autoconfig

  
  but although I, as a user, can read the config file 
/etc/thunderbird/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js, thunderbird can't, as strace 
shows:

  
  18187 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/thunderbird/defaults/pref", 
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC|O_DIRECTORY <unfinished ...>

  18187 <... openat resumed>)             = -1 EACCES (Permission
  denied)


  The apparmor/snap settings seems to keep thunderbird from reading it's
  config files.
