thundebird update to 68.0 addon is deactivated

[DMHas]

Hello,

the update of thunderbird to version 68.0 deactivate this addon. With all older version it work's fine.

Best regards,
DMHas

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior: update to the newest Thunderbird version

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10, Debian
• Thunderbird Version 68.0
• MinimizeToTray Reanimated Version1.4.11

[WebxMasterx]

Already in version 68.1 and not yet fixed :(

Given that it will become more and more difficult to maintain this kind of extension with Web Extensions (maybe there is already no way to do it with TB68, I have no idea), maybe it's worth trying out this stand-alone tool instead: https://github.com/gyunaev/birdtray

I switched to using https://github.com/user-none/KDocker which using Fedora 30 & KDE Plasma works nicely.

As BirdTray didn't quite fit my bill, I sat down for an evening and wrote something for myself: TBTray

Disclaimer: I wrote this tool for myself to fix exactly the issue I was having. If it's useful to you as well, that's great! But please don't report any suggestions on how to improve it. Besides having a day job in software development I already maintain enough other open-source software that I have zero intention on spending any more work on TBTray apart from fixing serious bugs if any show up. Feel free to fork it and incorporate any changes you want, though.

This tool is only for Windows, and it does nothing more and nothing less than moving Thunderbird to the notification area if you minimize or close it. It works by injecting a window message hook into the Thunderbird process so it's an external program like BirdTray, but more lightweight.

download from...?

[userlond]

@gabri25ele, I've downloaded from https://github.com/sagamusix/TBTray/releases (direct link is https://github.com/sagamusix/TBTray/archive/v0.10.1.zip)

[CristiCimpianu]

is this issue a real problem or it just needs a bump of the TB version in install.rdf?

[jnines]

I don't think it's as simple as a few tweaks, and extensions no longer use install.rdf.

Unfortunately,

• BirdTray is warned about by VirusTotal and Windows doesn't want to execute it
• TBTray doesn't work (I read the trouble shooting part of the readme)

I'm on Windows 10.
