Steps to reproduce:

I use Mate. When I add thunderbird in autostart in Mate preferences and enable run stored sesstion applications, after restart I got two instances of Thunderbird.

Actual results:

74789 ? Sl 0:11 /usr/lib64/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin
75183 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib64/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser -prefsLen 4108 -prefMapSize 250889 -jsInitLen 240916 -parentBuildID 20240307083929 -appDir /usr/lib64/thunderbird {46eb2666-e20e-4984-a651-b2c9557fadf3} 74789 tab
75188 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib64/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin -contentproc -childID 2 -isForBrowser -prefsLen 4108 -prefMapSize 250889 -jsInitLen 240916 -parentBuildID 20240307083929 -appDir /usr/lib64/thunderbird {22480f57-4bb5-4148-8c3f-aed378addfa2} 74789 tab

Expected results:

Stored session and autostart should run only one instance of Thuunderbird. Was not reproduced for thunderbird-102.11.0.

Cannot reproduce with Thunderbird 158.0.1 on Linux (ALT Sisyphus, MATE 1.28, X11).

Thunderbird in MATE autostart plus "Automatically remember running applications on logout", logged out and in three times: one window every time.

MATE still launches Thunderbird twice on login (once from the saved session, once from autostart). The second process hands off to the first one, which only focuses its existing window.
