Couldn't load XPCOM.

The missing file is available in current flatpak (Version: 140.2.0esr):
$ flatpak run --command=sh org.mozilla.Thunderbird
[📦 org.mozilla.Thunderbird ~]$ file /app/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2
/app/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2: symbolic link to libdbus-glib-1.so.2.3.5
Moreover libdbus-glib dependency was removed since FF and TB v120: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1532281
So this issue isn't applicable for current TB flatpak for two reasons: the file is available and it's not used anymore. I'm closing it then.
