if it is related to AppArmor then the answer is simply No because the
AppArmor profile is disabled by default.

Hm, I still don't see what this report is about. It looks like it this
is related to AppArmor.

What have you done to get clearance on this?
Have you an enabled or a disabled AppArmor profile? I guess you are
running an active profile for Thunderbird.

Do you have checked if any AddOn is possibly provoking your issues?
