Unable to start Flatpak from command line- Thunderbird Version 115.0.1
I recently installed the Flatpak version of Thunderbird Version 115.0.1.
I can no longer start Thunderbird from the command line. It is supposed to run by using the command flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird. When I issue this command nothing happens.
I can however start Thunderbird by using rofi. When I use rofi to start Flatpak Thunderbird, it runs perfectly.
I do not have any problems with any of the other Flatpak applications that I have on my system. Prior to updating Thunderbird, I did not have any problems with the Flatpak version of Thunderbird that I had installed. It is just this new version of Flatpak Thunderbird that is giving me problems.
I am running Debian Linux version 12.

On further investigation I find that I can run Thunderbird from the command line if I run the following command:
flatpak run --branch=stable --command=thunderbird org.mozilla.Thunderbird
I am not quite sure why I need to run this more verbose command as I should only need to run:
flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird.
Anyway, I seem to have got it working, so I am happy with this work-around.
This should be fixed in Thunderbird flatpak 115.1.0 which was released some time ago. Please check if you have this update available.
