Hi!
Using it with Thunderbird 31.8 under Kubuntu 15.04 (KDE Plasma 5). Love it!
Only, to reopen the minimized Thunderbird, I have to right-click and select "Show/Hide". Would love if a simple click or double-click on the logo maximizes....
(Under another comment is a middle-click mentioned, this doesn't work for me)

Try middle click, it restores it.
At least in Kubuntu 15.04 with ThunderBird 31.8

Used to work great in Linux but now is barely functional. Doesn't work at all with Thunderbird 38. The firetray icon doesn't respond to any input.
With Thunderbird 31.7 it works to some extent except 'hide to tray when minimize' doesn't work. It just minimizes Thunderbird to the launcher and then firetray can't restore the windows.

I've tried this add-on on Linux and Windows and it's by far my favorite Firefox tray option because it has every option.
One thing that would be SO cool would be if you could manually define a custom menu item to open a page or execute a bit of Javascript.

This great add-on has all the modifications I wanted rolled into one instead of me finding at least three other extensions ..... wonderful, thankyou

Love it. Highly recommended.
Works well with Debian Wheezy 7 and Icedove / Thunderbird 31.7.0

Unfortunately I get the double window bug often on Arch Linux on both Thunderbird 31 and 38 Beta. Often times the App Locks Up and I have to manually kill the process. It also seems to me that it would nice to have a "single click / double click" option as single click to maximize from tray seems weird in Gnome 3.16
Nice Work, so far the best Thunderbird Tray for Linux.

Finally! A close-to-tray extension that works!
Very, very, very rarely do I encounter the double-window bug; if you encounter this, simply disable the plugin, close one of the windows, and re-enable it.

Just works great in win8.1 with thunderbird 31.5.
Options on right click to restore only the window you want would have been perfect.
Hi, thanks for the nice review.
Hidden windows are already listed by name in the popup menu, when you right-click on the icon.

I could use this add-on before, I used Redhat. Now, I want to use it on my Window 7, but it does not work. Could you please teach me the way to solve this problem.
I'm using TB14

As of 0.5.4 this broke for me on Ubuntu 14.04 with TB 31.3.0. Does nothing. Never minimizes to tray. Clicking on TB's X kills TB instead of minimizes to tray. Minimizing an app to the tray should be trivial and never break but it breaks all the time.

Great add-on, though suffers from some bad management decisions. To restore old tray icon (with left click and message count), open preferences, "advanced→config editor", find "with_appindicator" and set it to false. Then restart Thunderbird.

Kubuntu (14.04) user here. Had to downgrade from 0.5.4 version to 0.5.3 to restore unread message count functionality. (0.5.3, like prior versions, works like a charm).

It is the most useful add-on for Thunderbird, but version 0.5.4 doesn't deliver the same good experience as 0.5.3 in KDE. Doesn't show number of new emails and what is the worst it is impossible to open the client by double-click. I had to downgrade.

Before january 1 update, everything was running awesome, as usual. Now, im unable to open thunderbird by simple double clicking on its system tray icon (KDE). Also, the system tray icon doesnt show the number of new/non read messages anymore. I hope you fix it soon. Its was a very useful app

Another disappointed user here because unread mail count is missing in the new 0.5.4 version. I removed that version and manually installed 0.5.3 and all is good again, hopefully this can be fixed soonish. Thanks for the great addon!
