flatpak version 115 does not recognise my existing profile
I have been using v102 for some time now, but decided to migrate to v115. I decided to install the flatpak version, as I don't like appimages, and that is what the standard version appeared to be. It seems there's no deb or rpm versino any more. But when I started it it did not open my existing profile, but instead offered to create a new profile. I started it with the "-P" option, and my existing profile was not displayed on the list. I tried everything I could think of but I could not get TB to open my profile. So I installed the appimage version, and it worked fine. It didn't immediately recognise my profile so I had to start it with the "-p" option but my profile was in the list, and from then on every time I started TB it started with my profile. So why doesn't the flatpak version find my profile? Is there something I've missed? All advice gratefully received.

Are you still having an issue?
No. I learned in another post that the flatpak version doesn't store profiles in the standard place. Instead it's in ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.thunderbird/.thunderbird. So I created a symlink from that location to ~/.thunderbird and it now works. Apologies, I'd completely forgotten I'd posted this question here. Thanks.
