issue running thunderbird-91 with firejail thunderbird profile

gb flag

I have been using thunderbird-78 installed through apt package repository. I was able to run thunderbird in firejail mode using the command firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/thunderbird.profile thunderbird %u. However I wanted to use thunderbird 91 so I uninstalled apt package and downloaded thunderbird91.tar.gz package file from thunderbird website as per instructions in this post https://askubuntu.com/questions/1367236/update-thunderbird-78-to-91-on-ubuntu-20-04 . I extracted all the files in /home/ajayc/snap/thunderbird folder.

Now I am not able to run thunderbird using the command firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/thunderbird.profile /home/ajayc/snap/thunderbird/thunderbird . The error I get when running the command in terminal is as give here.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
