Browser Tip of the Day: Minimize Firefox to the System Tray

Tabbed browsing already saves us a ton of space on the taskbar, which might make this extension a bit superfluous, but if you're like me and always have Firefox open, you might like reclaim that last bit of taskbar space. That's what MinimizeToTray does, by disappearing the taskbar item for Firefox and sticking an icon in the system tray (the part of the taskbar where the clock sits) instead. Additionally, there's an option to minimize to the tray only when you want it to, and a "Turbo" mode which keeps the tray icon visible even after you've exited Firefox. And as a bonus, it works with Thundbird, too.
