Yes.
I was trying to fix this yesterday and came up with an almost identical

Yes, welcome to the web :-(
When, some years ago, they announced ThunderBird was moving to "web
technologies" I was worried.
This ugly hack makes me thing I was right.
It's a pity there's no good alternative to TB.
bye & Thanks
av.
P.S.
I also see:
> console.error: (new Error("couldn't open library libc.so: /usr/lib/libc.so: invalid file format", "resource:///modules/CLib.jsm", 46))
I don't know what the consequences are, but it's obvious
modules/CLib.jsm is trying to dlopen (or whatever it's called in JS)
"libc" (/usr/lib/libc.so), which is a text file. Instead it needs to use
"/lib/libc.so.7" (which is what it does on Linux, BTW).
Then again, this is on FreeBSD 12, but might break with future versions :-[
I also guess "there's no two without three": since this isn't
centralized somewhere, there are probably other places all around the
code where such beautiful things happen.
