Hi there
I'm running Cinnamon on Fedora 20. At some point I wanted to rearrage the applets and I accidentally removed the FireTray applet for Thunderbird. I googled around a bit and it seems most people were able to restore it by adding the notifications applet, so that's what I did. The notification applet is now showing, but I can't restore the FireTray applet. Also, I recently installed DropBox which would create a similar applet, but it's also not showing up in the tray. This leads me to assume that I somehow removed the area in which "third party" apps may put their applets?
Any help on restoring this?
Thanks.

Hi chlab,
I use Mint with Cinnamon not Fedora so my answer may not be relevant. If you right-click the menu item for Thunderbird do you get option to "Add to Panel"; this is how menu options are added in MInt. Also if you want to add an applet can you right click the panel and select "Add Applets to the Panel". In Mint some menu items also disappear at random so I use the applet "Launchers Draggable Switch" which locks and unlocks the items so they do not accidentally disappear.

Firetray is a Mozilla Add-On
If you added Firetray with Thunderbird go to the Thunderbird/Add-ons/Extensions then select Firetray/Preferences and enable your tray icon there.
If you added Firetray with Firefox do the same but in the FF menu to re-enable
