Hello,

In comparison to the current LTS version, Thunderbird 135 now
permanently shows an indicator icon (notification area icon, system tray
icon, what else this is called) which is quite useless (it only contains
the Quit Mozilla Thunderbird menu option (see the screenshot), and it is
impossible to disable, or at least I haven’t found a way.

Please provide an option to disable it and make that the default.

Thanks.
