Maybe take a look at the following code in 'icedove':
;; Fixes issue where each installation directory generates its
own profile.
;; See e.g.
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31457
(add-after 'patch-source-shebangs 'fix-profile-setting
(lambda _
(substitute* "comm/mail/moz.configure"
(("MOZ_DEDICATED_PROFILES, True")
"MOZ_DEDICATED_PROFILES, False"))
#t))
Seems like this was fixed at some point but the fix broke?
Greetings,
Maxime.
