Hi, Yes, they have been discussing for a long time about removing Growl support, and that's now done. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777409
Now they use XUL notifications, independent from a central system like Apple Notification Center, or Growl, which can be a pity for people like us that enjoyed using Growl. That's why I tried to switch back to Growl New Message Notification extension for Thunderbird. https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/addon/growl-new-message-notification/ The extension appears to be still correctly working with latest release of Thunderbird (24.0.1) (for instance, a warning is displayed if Growlnotify is not installed.) But as described in another thread, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/growldiscuss/d6HOnnrTZeg it appears not to work perfectly with the behavior of latest Growlnotify version that prevents from seeing the resulting display: - the notification call is sent to growlnotify (it is even logged in the Growl history tab AND in the Growl Roll-up) - but now growlnotify seems not to correctly handle (not auto-registering?) application names that are not already registered before calling growlnotify Then the call of the extension which is the following gives no display growlnotify -n "Thunderbird (add-on)" -a "Thunderbird.app" -t Test "subject" -m "Author <[email protected]>" I opened the general thread about that topic on growldiscuss mailing list (see link above), but I have no answer nor solution yet. I hope we'll get answers and maybe solutions, Regards, -Yann. Christopher Forsythe wrote on 16/10/13 > As far as I know Mozilla decided to remove Growl support from their applications. I don't know if it's 24.0.1 that'll have it removed, but that'd be my suspicion as to what happened. We fought for them to not do it but ended up losing that battle. They decided they wanted their own notifications likely because they are trying to ship a phone operating system. > > I'd suggest trying to find an extension or some plugin for it.

Love it. Updated Thunderbird today (now running version 24.0.1). Ooops - I no longer get Growl notifications from Thunderbird.
