Thunderbird flatpak isn't opening attachements - eviltoast

Hi everyone!

I love Thunderbird and I’m really happy with it.

It’s the flatpak version and, sadly, it doesn’t allow me to open attachments. When I click on the file, it brings me to a screen where it proposes to use the system handler to open the file and then nothing happens.

Apparently, this is a common issue related to flatpak and its permissions, so I tried to circumvent it by trying to open documents inside Thunderbird (as I remember Thunderbird being able to open PDFs) but it didn’t work as it’s only telling me that Firefox is already running.

Does anyone know a workaround as for now it forces me to save documents before being able to open them?

    Yeah that’s what I’ll do. I’ll report it, even if I had already seen posts of people who are reported it.

    Thanks for your input 👍
