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.
