Cannot add new user to Thunderbird address book

There is only one issue in my complete transition to a Qubes system.
This is the first.

When I attempt to add a "New Contact" to Thunderbird's address book,
the "OK" button will change to show it is selected, but does not do
anything. The same happens when I attempt to update an existing contact.

Qubes 4.0.1; Thunderbird 60.4.0 (64-bit)

Note: My migration involved copying ~/.thunderbird/<profile>/abook.mab
from my laptop and replacing the one in my "personal" qube. I checked
its permissions and it is writable.

All my existing contacts show up and are usable. I am at a bit of a loss
.

After wasting too much time trying to work out where the problem was
(it does not seem to make any sense), I installed the "Card Book"
add-on. It seems to work flawlessly (I have only been using it for a
couple of days) and has a bit nicer user interface.
