To Reproduce install systray-x and have it autostart

Expected behavior Only one instance of thunderbird starts up

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Arch Linux
Architecture: 64 Bit
Desktop type / Window Manager: KDE 5.27.6, X11
Thunderbird Version and Arch: (Tb 115.0.1, 64 bit)
Run echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE in a terminal and report the results: x11

App version: 0.9.4-1
Install type: systray-x-kde from Arch Linux x64 extra-testing
Default system repository QT6

One of the windows always closes the rest of the windows when closed. This is random. When any of the other windows are closed it closes the individual window.

Now it's getting to the point where it opens so many instances of Thunderbird that it's crashing the system and using 100% CPU.

Tested it with a clean VM of Arch with KDE. Using my own repo: everything works just fine. Using the Arch repo itself, everything works just fine.

Do not use the testing repo?

And what do you mean by auto start SysTray-X ?? The addon is started by Thunderbird itself. Systray-X itself will not launch Thunderbird in anyway.

I have Thunderbird added to autostart through KDE System Settings.

Disabling the testing repos and downgrading the packages to stable does not fix the issue. Removing it from autostart and starting manually does not solve the issue either.

Are you aware that the default setting of KDE is to save your desktop when logging out. So if Thunderbird is open and you logout, you get on your next login the thunderbird KDE saved for you AND the autostart Thunderbird. With every new login and open windows this amount doubles.....

So remove thunderbird from the autostart and just use the desktop save session of KDE. Or use the autostart and use the manual save session of KDE.

Occurs even with session saving completely disabled. Also occurs without systray-x even installed. Occurs no matter how the program is executed. It's opening so many windows that Google is rate limiting me.

Found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1201878 If I hadn't been blaming it on systray-x the whole time I would of found this solution faster
