I've heard that firetray doesn't close windows by default but rather
hides them in the systray, which means they can restored in the context
menu of the systray icon, but equally signifies they reappear when
Thunderbird is restarted. To alter that behavior right-click the icon,
select preferences, and unclick 'Closing window hides to systray', or
alternatively 'Only last window can be hidden'.
