There is already an XMPP & IRC chat client built into Thunderbird, which to me seems a more logical place for it ( in the communication app )

It works decently well.

I didn't know that, thanks for sharing.

The two issues I have with that:

1) I don't use Thunderbird right now, for anything. Mails are either in FF (webmail) or in other applications. I'm not sure if I want to drop webmail in favor of Thunderbird.

2) The status of Thunderbird is still a mystery to me. I'm still not sure if Mozilla is slowly backing off or if they're just not praising TB anymore.

Thunderbird is "done".

Mozilla's development efforts are limited to security and maintenance updates.
