Minimize Firefox 3 To The System Tray

Do you like your Taskbar clean and shiny? Are you one of the users who prefer to minimize to the system tray instead of the taskbar? If you have answered the questions with yes chance is that you will love the Minimize to Tray add-on for Firefox 3. Minimizing a regular installation of Firefox 3 will display the Firefox 3 icon in the taskbar with no option to minimize it to the system tray instead.

It only takes the installation of the Minimize To Tray add-on to change that behavior so that Firefox 3 will from then on minimize to the system tray instead. The add-on comes with three options that configure the behavior: Firefox can be configured to always appear in the system tray when minimized, to only appear there on close and that it requires a double-click to be restored from the system tray.

    Thanx, most times I rather not have a separate minimize to tray program running, but this add-on is useful and it works with the window I have open the most.

    Does what it says, but I have uninstalled because there is a compatibility issue with tidyFavorites bookmarks program. If tidyFavorites is idle no problems, but once a thumbnail is clicked in tidyFavorites with minimizetotray enabled it opens a separate and new Firefox instance. Didn’t even notice until I had five or six instances open and Firefox performance had degraded. Oh well, I use the Thunderbird version and it works well.
