Minimise Firefox and Thunderbird to system tray

If you are like me, you hate a cluttered taskbar so I went online to find out how to minimise Firefox and Thunderbird to the system tray

I found an add-on called MimimizeToTray so you can minimze Firefox and Thunderbird by clicking CTRL+SHIFT+M

Both these add-ons work fine for Firefox but to get MinimizeToTray to work in Thunderbird, you have to right click the Install link and click "Save Link As" and save the add-on somehwere on your hard drive.

In Thunderbird, click Tools > Add-ons then click Install and browser to that file you just downloaded. Install it and restart Thunderbird and you can now minimize to the system tray.

Someone may find this useful :alien2:
