Thunderbird on Ubuntu 24.04 - normal dash icon has been replaced - how to recover?
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04. I also migrated from using Thunderbird via snap to installing and running it via Flatpak.
As a result, the Thunderbird icon on the dock now shows the normal logo with an annoying green circle with the number "1" in white text on top. I have uploaded the image.
This suggests there is one new message but that is not the case - whether there are 0 new messages or 10 new messages, the icon in the dash does not change.
How can I return to the original Thunderbird icon?
I have checked the org.mozilla.Thunderbird.desktop file which is located in /usr/share/applications and and it says:
Icon=thunderbird StartupWMClass=thunderbird-esr
However, I have no idea where the thunderbird icon is located and how to replace it with my own .png file. I cannot find the current icon file anywhere.
Does anyone know how to replace the current icon with my own icon or with the original Thunderbird icon?

A little while back I helped someone alter icons but that was in Windows Os. Mind you it's all probably same files etc within the actual program. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1429417
That number 1 in green circle. The unread count is gathered from info located in the 'folderCache.json' file - located in profile. In Windows it's a red circle. I recently had an annoying discrepancy. Number did alter but it was always a given number incorrect. I discovered there was a folder from an account which had been set up as a pop account and then modified to be a deferred account using Local Folders. I discovered that the original pop account data was still in the 'folderCache.json' file. It was locating an unread mail. "totalUnreadMsgs" : 21,
If I exited Thunderbird. I could then have 'edited' that line to say: "totalUnreadMsgs" : 0 and then saved the file, but I was concerned it wouldonly rewrite itself again. Instead I located the actual profile data - renamed the mbox file and moved it to Local Folders account folder. then renamed folderCache.json to force a new build.
I did create a bug report for it. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1916455
Worth taking a look at that link because I included info on how to debug to find out where that number info was coming from.
Maybe it's something like a relic bit of data from when profile was stored in Snap default location, because the Flatpack would have installed in a different location. Did you manually move the profile folder after the reinstall?

It would be interesting and helpful if you could follow the debug info and then post what you found in the error console. In the same way I posted info in that bug report.
