Firetray

Overview

Js-ctypes rewrite of the binary XPCOM version of Firetray.

Notes

• Firetray unsets the tabs.warnOnClose built-in preference, which otherwise disrupts the handeling of the close event.
• Experimental non-customizable keyboard shortcut for hiding all windows set to: accel-shift-w

References

• if you're looking for other mozilla-desktop integration:

  • Paul Neulinger's Gnome-shell-Thunderbird integration
  • Mike Conley's Unity-Thunderbird integration
  • discontinued Mozilla New Mail Icon (Biff)

• Alltray launches any applications into tray

KNOWN BUGS

• windows aren't restored with the same z-order, but there is no means to correct that under Linux

• notifications for excluded mail account servers are not disabled. Newmailalerts are hard-coded and we can't easily disable thme on a per-server basis (only globally, see mail.biff.show_alert). The proper way would probably be to disable default notifications globally, and handle notifications ourselves. This is out of the scope of this addon, but you may want to give a try to the MailAlert extension
