I can also confirm that FireTray 0.3.1 is broken on Thunderbird 6.0 in Arch 
Linux x86/XFCE.

You can compile it, 
http://fedoraworkbook.blogspot.com/2011/08/compiling-firetray-add-on-for.html
I did it for my arch x86 (gnome), just had to install scons.

The file attached works on my arch with thunderbird 6

Yes, it works, but I had to change the FF Version in install.rdf to 6, 
otherwise FF will deny the installation due to incompatible version.

@olsman Thanks for the quick reply. I installed your build, but it's still a 
no-go on my arch thunderbird 6.0 install.

@jan    I get no warning that the add-on is incompatible with the current 
version, neither with the official version nor with olsman's build.

In my version I changed the version from 5.* to... 7.*! Does your system is up 
to date ? I had some updates about xulrunner 6 this morning... Or you can try 
to compile it, it's really easy. I just had to install scons, download the 
sources http://firetray.googlecode.com/files/firetray-0.3.1-src.zip , unzip, 
launch generate_install_rdf.sh , then launch build.sh and you will have an xpi 
archive. open this archive to change the max version in install.rdf and 
voilà...

It shouldn't be different from any other linux, but the problem is that it 
still does not work. Here is my build on Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64

Breaks for me too with the upgrade to Thunderbird 6 on Ubuntu 11.04 AMD64.  The 
extension is active, but nothing appears in the tray.

This same problem happened with the upgrade from Thunderbird 4->5.  What's 
going on here?

Same problem here, compiling from source did not work either.

The x86 file works for me on Ubuntu 11.04. I even changed version in the 
install.rdf file to 7.* so it wouldn't bother me too fast. :) Thx Man. :)

Tried a number of homemade recompiled extensions, and none of them work for 
T-bird 6 on Ubuntu Maverick. Compiling myself appears quite complicated, with 
the number of packages to be installed and configured.

If Mozilla keep going like that with their product, they're going to find 
themselves out of users fast.

Well, the file attached to this command worked for me, while others didn't:

If you're like me and nothing has fixed it until now, give that one a try, you 
never know =)

Some more builds to try, if the others don't work for you. They work for me on 
Xubuntu Natty i386 and amd64 with FF6 and TB6.

WOW I just can't believe that the FF developers are acting more and more like 
RedHat developers that break libraries with each new release.... firefox is 
becoming a pain in the ass to use.

firetray broken again because of the FF morons

Yes, indeed it works for me. But the question is, how to avoid such 
incompatibilities in the future. I think the next FF 7 is waiting for release.

I'm thinking not to upgrade FF and TB anymore.... at the least not upgrading 
right away and wait a month or so to see what else they break.

As a addon developer the recent versions of FF and TB have been driving me 
crazy as well and I just may stop providing the ones I develop.

Confirm that the attachment to comment 15 works on Fedora 15 x64_86.

I will also disable FF and TB automatic upgrades. Every time one or another 
addon stops working, and this just happens too frequently now. It is quite 
understandable that addon developers can't keep up.
