Hi,
I have tried repeatly to install add-ons into TB within the TB site.I
download the extention or theme and when I try to install...'not
compatiable with Firefox'. I can't even get a dictionary.
I have no trouble in getting add-ons for Firefox.
Can someone please help ?

You do know you have to 'save link as' then open Tools/add-ons and point
'install' to wherever you saved it?

Or just drag&drop the add-on link from Firefox into the open
Tunderbird-window.

of course it doesn't work for Firefox. You're trying to install the
extension into FF. You have to save the extension to your hard drive,
then use TB to open it that way. Right click on the link and select
Save Target As
