I was very frustrated that in 156.0.1 (157 as of today) on Arch there is no option to minimize to tray when closing. Now i do not know what is the cause of this, but i was unable to find any working solution ... FOR A PROBLEM SOLVED ~12 YEARS AGO >:(. Eventually resigned to system solution using SysTray-X which eventually worked. 

               `ooo/                    OS: Arch Linux x86_64
             `+oooooo:                  Kernel: Linux 7.2.9-arch1-1
       ./ooosssso++osssssso+`           Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.7.5
      .oossssso-````/ossssss+`          Window Manager: KWin (Wayland)

1) pacman -S systray-x 2) check plug-in in Thunderbird is present 3) change Thunderbird shortcuts to add env.variables "Exec=env MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 GDK_BACKEND=x11 thunderbird %u"
