I use Ubuntu 16.04 and this add-on doesn't do almost anything.
I set this add-on to display both the new messages and unread messages and in both cases it doesn't work. I set it to change the icon because that is the only thing that can be noticed. There isn't any difference between clicking on the system tray to see the number that is hidden and running the whole program with one click, too.
When I click to start Thunderbird, Firetray sometimes syncs tray icon with new messages and sometimes doesn't.
Once I set it to change the icon and it kept using the same icon and just writing the number of new emails when I click on the system tray icon.
When I set Thunderbird to autostart with system (with Startup Applications), Firetray never works.

I hope that, in a recent time, there will be an add-on, for this program, that does what Firetray says it does, so that I can use this free program for my work. Without this options Thunderbird is really unusable because we must always think on checking the emails instead of working on the important stuff.
