Thanks for the great detective work. 

This isn't an ideal test, but does the problem also occur if you run the beta from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel/ ?

Hello.
Yes, the problem is also with the version 42.0b2.
The problem also trying to open a saved message from the File menu.

I also tried to install version Daily 45.0a1 and the problem is still present.

I noticed that this bug does not only affect Thunderbird, but also Firefox (45.0.1 here) : I'm not able to access shared folders when I chose File > Open file. I can neither access shared folders when I'm picking files to upload (for example).

So it's clear not limited to Product: Thunderbird, but rather due to a common component.
