Steps to reproduce:

I tried creating a Flatpak extension at

  • /var/lib/flatpak/extension/org.mozilla.thunderbird.systemconfig/x86_64/stable/policies/policies.json
  • ~/.local/share/flatpak/extension/org.mozilla.thunderbird.systemconfig/x86_64/stable/policies/policies.json

analogous to how it works for Firefox. Please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1814897.

Actual results:

It doesn't work because the extension is not defined in the Flatpak build metadata. Maybe additional changes would be required.

Expected results:

It should be possible to use policies.json or pref.js files with Thunderbird Flatpak.
