Hi,

Long time user of Growl 1.2.2 (free). And decided to support the project by 
buying the version 2 on App Store. Apple notification Center still has a 
tiny list of supported applications...

Then Thunderbird 24 is not supported anymore!! What a shame!

Should I open a different thread for Thunderbird 24 and Growl 2.1.2?

Maybe a solution would be to parse the XUL notification, but I am not 
familiar enough with it to code it myself, sorry :(

I will try the mentioned add-on, and will be happy to test and report back 
other solutions.

Kind regards,
Hervé
