This is a new system on which I am trying to install thunderbird. When running, I intend to port everything that I can from an old thunderbird, probably 91.2.0. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

The RPM files are packaged by the distribution, or their upstream package manager repo. So I guess for Rocky Linux that would be Red Hat. My understanding is red hat build their own executable from source before packaging it to the RPM. SO I would suggest you approach either the Rocky support people of the red hat ones. Depending on how the distribution works.
My guess is the RPM is missing bits. This is more common with Linux than it should be. But they have this habit of making dependencies of things not including them in the RPM.
