Minimize firefox to system tray

It is desirable to minimize applications to system tray rather than messing up the task bar. In Linux many applications has its own extension to get minimized to system tray.

Browsers are application which is needed all the time. We would have at least some web pages opened in it if we are in a work. Opera has its extension to minimize to system tray, along with. For Firefox you have to add the extension (add on) FireTray (in linux). It will show a firefox icon in the system tray whenever firefox is opened. To minimize the browser, just click on that icon. To restore, click on the same icon.
