Prevent Desktop, Downloads directories being created on startup
When thunderbird launches, directories "Desktop" and "Downloads" are created in my user home directory. I cannot find in settings how to disable this. The save location for attachments is set to ~/downloads.
thunderbird 102.8.0-2 on 6.2.2-arch1-1 x86_64

I think I have found a fix. It seems that on Linux Thunderbird may use ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs provided by xdg-user-dirs-update to determine whether/where new folders are created on startup. Installing this package and in particular setting XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop", XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/downloads" (the actually directory I use for downloads on my system) appears to have prevented Thunderbird from creating ~/Desktop, ~/Downloads.
