Hi Olivier,

Thanks for the bug report.  It has been a while since that patch was
landed so my memory may be a bit rusty, but I don't believe we
considered the use case of Linux distributions side-loading dictionaries
in this way...

Would it be a useful work-around to convert these dictionaries to the
[WebExtension dictionary format](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/dictionaries)?  I
haven't tested this myself, but at least in Firefox it is [possible to
side-load
extensions](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish
/distribute-sideloading/#standard-extension-folders), so perhaps
installing such extensions to a location like
`/usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/{uuid}` may be a useful workaround?
