How can I add a Firefox toolbar icon to access my Thunderbird?
Hi! Running Firefox 53.0.3 on WIndows 10. Have a Cox email address within Thunderbird. How can I add an envelope icon on Firefox to access Thunderbird??
Thanks for any help! Nick

You don't have a Thunderbird icon on your task bar (or a shortcut on your desktop) ? I totally get what you want, though - I have absolutely no idea if this add-on will do the trick, but would you give it a try ?

Maybe this article will be helful, in particular the section :
Thank you for the suggestion, but have looked at that and it doesn't really address what I am trying to accomplish
Appreciate your responding! Nick
Seems disappointing that both Firefox and Thunderbird are Mozilla products but they don't seem to supply a simple way (that I have been able to find so far) to put a link in Firefox to be able to go look at my Thunderbird email. It was no problem in Internet Explorer..........

Thanks very much Happy!
After loading the addon and fooling a bit to get the link from the 'read mail' button to my Thunderbird, it works!!!
Still don't understand why Mozilla didn't make this easier, but thanks to you it's now working.......
Thanks again for your help!!! Nick
Maybe you can use an extension to create a launch button.
- External Application Buttons 2: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/external-application-button/
PrefBar also comes with some examples of a button to open an external application (executedemo).
I notice some reports for External Application Buttons 2 about missing nsPreferences, so you will probably have to install this extension that I created and had posted on the Lithium based forum.
Copied from the Lithium thread:
I've created a simple extension that restores the "chrome://global/content/nsUserSettings.js" file.
When you install this extension then extensions that use the nsPreferences interface should be working.
Copy and paste the full DATA code in the location bar and save the file as nspreferences-1.1-fx.xpi
You can install the extension via the extension manager (click the cogwheel -> Install Add-on From File) or via "File > Open File" or by dragging the .xpi file in a Firefox window.

Thanks for your reply Cor-El.. I appreciate your time!
The previous suggestion by happy112 solved the problem however so I didn't try your solution (which might have worked just as well)
Thanks for responding! Nick
Sorry. I had missed some of the above posted replies.
It looks that the 'Read Mail' button launches the default mail program as set in the OS if I check the extension's code.
