Hi again wonder. I don't use Firetray [don't even know what it is], so i can't offer any comment on that. Regarding your other points, i'd offer two remarks:
1. You didn't need IMO to actually delete your Profile [ie, "/home/.thunderbird"], as that's only "data", not "programs" which actually are the focus here in this exercise [ie, "/usr/lib/thunderbird"].
2. I didn't delete my original TB pgm folder, instead i renamed it as "/usr/lib/thunderbird_38.8/", just in case i ever might want to return to it in future [unlikely]. Having read your post, i then compared my "/usr/lib/thunderbird_38.8/" against "/usr/lib/thunderbird/" [ie, my 45.4.0 that i had previously manually put there] in Dolphin via split screen, & was very surprised to confirm what you said, ie, TB 45.4.0 does not have/use that *.sh file. However, here's the interesting thing; i examined my Launchers, both in Cairo-Dock [= my primary launch tool, & via which i run most of my pgms in the FireJail sandbox] & also in the Maui Applications Menu, for both TB 45.4.0 Release, & TB 49.0 Beta. In each case, my launchers do NOT call ".../thunderbird.sh", but only the adjacent executable ".../thunderbird"... & my TB [both Release & Beta] have always worked fine for me this way. Maybe you could also try this?
Cairo-Dock Launcher Command:
(a) Release = firejail /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird
(b) Beta = firejail /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird
Applications Menu Launcher Command:
(a) Release = thunderbird %u
(b) Beta = /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird
