Regression in 0.5.4

[erwdavid]

In 0.5.3 firetray in my thunderbird displayed either the thunderbird icon or a number of unread mail, and I could select which folders where monitored for this number of emails.
It was upgraded (from mozilla addons) and now I either get an email indicator (unread mail) or an icon with a question mark. I cannot get the number of unread messages, nor can I select the folders to monitor any more

Hi, I think this is a duplicate of #147.

Maybe, but this is not in a specific branch, and I do not see what I
can do to get a working firetray in this issue.
What would be a good solution for this ?

Disabling with_appindicator maybe ?

I'll try. I have another machine with "same" setting (debian jessie,
kde) where it works, so it might be that first machine lmacks some
lib. I'll check tonight (european time)

I have a difference : with only libappindicator1 installed, it works. If libappindicator3-1 is installed, then it does not work when with_appindicator is true, but it works when it is false. Do you think that I should open a bug against this debian package (gtk3 version of libappindicator) ?

[foudfou]

Here is how FireTray works:

• if libappindicator3 is available and the org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher dbus service is listening (mostly under Ubuntu or KDE) and with_appindicator is true, then libappindicator3 is used
• otherwise (for ex. if only libappindicator1 is installed), FireTray will use normal X11 tray icons.

So what you describe is not a bug.

You did not tell about your environment, but I suspect you should just disable with_appindicator.

Yes that's what I did on the machine with libappindicator3 installed
(needed by other software), both being with KDE.

Thanks for the help.

I'm using (K)ubuntu and had the same problem. I uninstalled the package libappindicator3-1, restarted thunderbird and now everything is back to normal again (number of unread messages are shown and left click works again).
