 It won't install; TBB complains that it is incompatible. When the rdf is
 edited to allow it to install, depending on the method TBB either
 complains that Minimize to tray Revived is corrupt (I don't think that is
 what the edits did, but I'm not a developer) or it allows it to install
 just fine, menus are available in the addons manager and accept input and
 everything, but the extension functionally does nothing. TBB does not
 minimize to tray.

 I need a portable tray solution, I'm not going to drag a bunch of external
 utilities along on every portable cache, and MTT has always worked just
 fine. Minimizing TBB to the taskbar is stupid and archaic, I need that
 space for other things when TBB is minimized.

 I don't know if the plugin dev just needs to update (they do have menu
 options specific to TBB in the addon) or if TBB has broken it. Either way,
 it sucks.

 Tested OS for this ticket thus far is Windows.
