I’m experiencing the same with the version that’s currently in testing.
However, I found a workaround: either install thunderbird/1:52.5.0-1
from unstable, or disable the apparmor profile yourself:

sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird

Related bug is #882672.

Mourad, could you please report if either of those workarounds work for you?

Best regards,
Juhani Numminen
