I reviewed it in the early days, some 3 or 4 years back. Its only drawback is the requirement for Qt5. It's the closest in functionality to FireTray itself, even possessing the ability to make use of different icons if so desired. The most useful replacement I've found is 'BirdTray', by George Yunaev. Various replacements have been introduced some maintained, some abandoned. TB60 then broke it it's developer re-wrote it.and then Mozilla switched the extension infrastructure to WebAPI. V91 - now in its own separate sub-folder:-Īs mentioned above, and as I've talked about before, the extremely useful FireTray extension for T-Bird worked fine up until TB52. along with the afore-mentioned 'BirdTray'.

You CAN find older versions at my Google Drive, here:. Realistically, this is only going to run in any Pup from around Xenialpup onwards.Tahrpup needs too much other stuff to make it worthwhile, TBH. There's a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of Thunderbird-portable v91. 'TBTrayReadMe' explains what to do with this. A wee script places an executable icon in the notification area over to the right here, at least, it never gets covered up by anything else, and gives you quick access to Thunderbird at any time. This won't give you notifications of unread mails - you'll have to check for these manually, I'm afraid I'm not that good, yet! - but it at least gives you a method for accessing Thunderbird from the tray, without the need to dig around in the Menu or accessing your desktop for the launcher. I've also built a 'basic' FireTray 'replacement', which I've called TBTray. The 'MenuReadMe' explains how this works. You also have the ability to add a Menu entry from wherever your portable is located. Nothing extraneous now lives within the main directory. This permits easier 'dropping-in' of an existing profile from a previous version. The 'extralibs' directory - GTK3 & libdbus in this case - is again re-located to the top 'level', as is Thunderbird's 'profile'. These, like the current Firefox portables, are now built in my new, 'standard' portable format. I put these together several weeks ago, but have been testing the Qt5-powered 'BirdTray' app.which is the best replacement I've found for the now-defunct 'FireTray' extension. After publishing the new crop of Firefox portables earlier today, I thought I'd better release these corresponding new Thunderbird builds.
