macOS Monterey refuses Thunderbird's authorization request for Contacts
I've installed Thunderbird on a new MacBook with macOS Monterey, and the application is not requesting permission to access the Mac's Contacts. As a result, the macOS Address Book is empty and cannot read my contacts on my Mac.
This issue was first raised two years ago in an issue that was identified as a bug and was subsequently fixed and closed. It appears this bug has reappeared.
What should happen is Thunderbird should generate a system request to ask the user to allow it to access "Contacts". This request never appears. When I look at my Mac's System Preferences, under Security & Privacy -> Contacts, there is no entry for Thunderbird. I can't manually add this; the app has to generate the request.
Looking at my console, I found the following warning when I started Thunderbird:
Refusing authorization request for service kTCCServiceAddressBook and subject Sub:{org.mozilla.thunderbird}Resp:{<TCCDProcess: identifier=org.mozilla.thunderbird, pid=9492, auid=501, euid=501, binary_path=/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird>} without NSContactsUsageDescription key
This message was reported in the bug referenced above. I believe something has probably changed in the latest version of macOS which is causing Thunderbird to incorrectly request access to Contacts from the system.
Should I reopen the bug? Create a new bug? Please advise.

It seems a fix might not happen soon.

This should be fixed by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1720257 in one of the next updates of version 102 (but not 102.10.0)
