Public bug reported:
A regular noble full-upgrade transitioned my laptop to the thunderbird
snap this morning, and I ended up with no profile due to an EPERM
reading ~/.thunderbird during the migration. thunderbird.launcher says
it needs personal-files, but the thunderbird snap doesn't seem to have
that plug.
