Public bug reported:

(Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS)
We are using thunderbird in an environment where the home directories of the 
users lie on a networkshare.
Before snap we could change the download folder to a local drive where just the 
user had access to.
With the temp folder under ~/Download and no option to change the location, 
user experience suffers since saving and reopening over the network is way 
slower than saving the data locally.

Is there an option to change the folder location?
(couldn't find anything symlinks do not help)

Atm. the only option to fix this is to abandon snap and installing
thunderbird manually.

** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu)
