Many thanks to "the-nic" for offering a solution to use this add-on on TB 136.

-----
To make the addon work on 136, one only has to update strict_max_version in the manifest version and change the first lines in experiment.js to

const { ExtensionCommon } = ChromeUtils.importESModule(
"resource://gre/modules/ExtensionCommon.sys.mjs");

then it works again :)
-----

Sorry for the spelling, but English is not my native language.

1. Change the plugin extension from .xpi to .zip
2. Unzip the .zip file
3. Edit manifest.json with Notepad
4. Change "strict_max_version": "128.*" to "strict_max_version": "136.*"
5. Save
6. Edit experiment.js with Notepad
7. Change
const { ExtensionCommon } = ChromeUtils.import(
"resource://gre/modules/ExtensionCommon.jsm");
to
const { ExtensionCommon } = ChromeUtils.importESModule(
"resource://gre/modules/ExtensionCommon.sys.mjs");
8. Save
9. Zip all files back into a new .zip file.
10. Change the .zip extension to .xpi
11.- Install the plugin in TB.

I hope it's useful for others. I don't know if there's a better way to accomplish this.

Regards and thanks again to the-nic.

How do I do that?

A must-have add-on that unfortunately stopped working with TB 136.

A big thanks to @the-nic who provided a working solution, and to @trashbasu for offering more complete instructions for those unfamiliar with editing add-ons.

It should be noted that the developer has previously stated that they ONLY support ESR (Extended Support Releases) of Thunderbird, which 136 will eventually become, perhaps later this month or in early April.

Please update to V136. I had to revert to v128 but even that was not easy: you need to go back to 128.1 , install the add-on manually and only then can you upgrade to 128.8 Otherwise it does not install.

Please update for latest Thunderbird, using it without this addon is an impossibility. Mozilla should be absolutely ashamed that an essential functionality like this isn't provided natively.

I can't use Thunderbird without it.
I strongly request compatibility to v136.

Would be nice if this extension asks to enter primary password (if set) if i restore the client. The primary password only is evoked only when i kill the TB process in task manager. Also, would be great if there is a right click option for the TB icon in the task bar to close the TB client.

Thunderbird version 128.4.3esr, plugin version 2.0.1.4.
After the program is minimized to the tray, I want to close the software, but the right mouse button does not respond. The computer system is Windows 11.

This addon works well on 115.11.0. The default minimize to tray doesn't work on windows11.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.1.3).

This is not a standalone plugin, it binds to thunderbird settings. You will not be able to set it so that when you click minimize, the application will minimize and when you close it, it will go to tray. With this plugin and minimize goes to tray and close. Very disappointed.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.1.3).

Why this addon need this ?

Have full and unlimited access to Thunderbird and your computer

The extension uses old technology and has full access to Thunderbird’s internal APIs and thus does not require any individual permissions. Until version 68 of Thunderbird, almost all add-ons had this unrestricted access without having to claim it. Add-ons request this permission as long as the new API-based permissions system does not provide the functionality they need.

Extensions requesting this permission could:

change the appearance of the Thunderbird user interface;
read and modify all your data (messages, contacts, calendars, web content and passwords);
read, edit and run any file on your computer.
