Details
Steps to reproduce:
I run Archlinux with Sway (swaywm.org) v1.8.1.
I updated Thunderbird via the command flatpak update from v102.13.0 to v115.0.1.
Actual results:
The update succeeded, but as soon as I start TB nothing appears. If I run flatpak ps I can see that TB is running, but I cannot see anything.
I tried to run flatpak kill org.mozilla.Thunderbird and it disappear from the output of flatpak ps, then I start it again but the same issue occurs. I have found no way to actually start TB supernova yet.
I find out that someone else is facing the same issue as myself: https://discourse.flathub.org/t/thunderbird-and-i3/4712
The only way I found to make TB works again was rolling back to v102.13.0 with the command: flatpak --user update --commit=3c04bcc9b87caa7c4ef6cc19fb948ae409c2ba30d4b658ea4dc5cfe3bb413f88 org.mozilla.Thunderbird
Expected results:
I update TB via flatpak update and the new version will start.

I'm having similar issue that Thunderbird does not start. I tried the commit selection command and got:
flatpak --user update --commit=3c04bcc9b87caa7c4ef6cc19fb948ae409c2ba30d4b658ea4dc5cfe3bb413f88 org.mozilla.Thunderbird
flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird --version
Thunderbird 102.13.0
I then updated to the latest version:
flatpak update
But, now the output is unexpected:
flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird --version
pcsc-spy version 1.1

It would seem the flatpak starting something else than Thunderbird.

After the latest update of TB in Flathub the issue is gone. Everything is now working as expected. This is also confirmed [0] by the other user with i3.
I guess this bug can be closed.
Cheers,
