Details
For many years there where a bunch of addons which supported minimizing firefox to the tray, but after the addon system change there none left and I guess it's not even possible anymore.
As the request is quite large (based on a lage number of old addons, questions and "solutions" (None of them really great for quantum)) I propose to build that feature natively into firefox.
I would propose it as follows:
- Disabled by default, but configurable in the Preferences
- For consistency the tray icon should be always displayed
- When closing the window it hides
- On click on the tray the window shows up again
- The tray menu should contain the following:
- An item to open firefox up (especially as some linux environments don't have onclick)
- An option to quit firefox
- Maybe some shortcuts(?)
Things that I didn't thought of yet:
- Multiple windows

Correct. This cannot be a duplicate of bug 208923.
Perhaps a duplicate of bug 1025613, which is problematic because it discusses multiple issues.
Oddly, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Miscellaneous claims there is a -tray startup option, which doesn't appear to work
