Many thanks to "the-nic" for offering a solution to use this add-on on TB 136.

-----
To make the addon work on 136, one only has to update strict_max_version in the manifest version and change the first lines in experiment.js to

const { ExtensionCommon } = ChromeUtils.importESModule(
"resource://gre/modules/ExtensionCommon.sys.mjs");

then it works again :)
-----

Sorry for the spelling, but English is not my native language.

1. Change the plugin extension from .xpi to .zip
2. Unzip the .zip file
3. Edit manifest.json with Notepad
4. Change "strict_max_version": "128.*" to "strict_max_version": "136.*"
5. Save
6. Edit experiment.js with Notepad
7. Change
const { ExtensionCommon } = ChromeUtils.import(
"resource://gre/modules/ExtensionCommon.jsm");
to
const { ExtensionCommon } = ChromeUtils.importESModule(
"resource://gre/modules/ExtensionCommon.sys.mjs");
8. Save
9. Zip all files back into a new .zip file.
10. Change the .zip extension to .xpi
11.- Install the plugin in TB.

I hope it's useful for others. I don't know if there's a better way to accomplish this.

Regards and thanks again to the-nic.

The steps you explain are good and safe, as you only whitelist a version that you explicitly tested. That said, you will have to re-apply these steps for each monthly release.

Given that there seems to be a lot of interest from people that have a solid technical background, I did publish an unsupported build on https://github.com/rsjtdrjgfuzkfg/thunderbird-minimizeonclose/releases/tag/v2.0.1.4-1-g981004e which completely disables the compatibility check. That build *could* support future versions as well.

Warning: using incompatible add-ons may lead to issues down the line, which might include loss of data. Unsupported builds cannot protect you from that, they are only intended for people that understand the risks, have a solid battle-tested backup strategy and like to live on the edge ;)

For normal users, I recommend to stick with the officially supported ESR version.

Thanks for looking into that; given that there seem to be a lot of users that know what they are doing, I pushed the add-on to GitHub and included the change; an unsupported build is available on the corresponding release https://github.com/rsjtdrjgfuzkfg/thunderbird-minimizeonclose/releases/tag/v2.0.1.4-1-g981004e

A must-have add-on that unfortunately stopped working with TB 136.

A big thanks to @the-nic who provided a working solution, and to @trashbasu for offering more complete instructions for those unfamiliar with editing add-ons.

It should be noted that the developer has previously stated that they ONLY support ESR (Extended Support Releases) of Thunderbird, which 136 will eventually become, perhaps later this month or in early April.

Please update to V136. I had to revert to v128 but even that was not easy: you need to go back to 128.1 , install the add-on manually and only then can you upgrade to 128.8 Otherwise it does not install.

Please update for latest Thunderbird, using it without this addon is an impossibility. Mozilla should be absolutely ashamed that an essential functionality like this isn't provided natively.

I can't use Thunderbird without it.
I strongly request compatibility to v136.

Unfortunately, this stopped working in v136! Please make it work again, because it is essential!

Would be nice if this extension asks to enter primary password (if set) if i restore the client. The primary password only is evoked only when i kill the TB process in task manager. Also, would be great if there is a right click option for the TB icon in the task bar to close the TB client.

Thunderbird version 128.4.3esr, plugin version 2.0.1.4.
After the program is minimized to the tray, I want to close the software, but the right mouse button does not respond. The computer system is Windows 11.

This is not a standalone plugin, it binds to thunderbird settings. You will not be able to set it so that when you click minimize, the application will minimize and when you close it, it will go to tray. With this plugin and minimize goes to tray and close. Very disappointed.

Why this addon need this ?

Have full and unlimited access to Thunderbird and your computer

The extension uses old technology and has full access to Thunderbird’s internal APIs and thus does not require any individual permissions. Until version 68 of Thunderbird, almost all add-ons had this unrestricted access without having to claim it. Add-ons request this permission as long as the new API-based permissions system does not provide the functionality they need.

Extensions requesting this permission could:

change the appearance of the Thunderbird user interface;
read and modify all your data (messages, contacts, calendars, web content and passwords);
read, edit and run any file on your computer.
