User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to use Gnome Contacts in Thunderbird.

Gnome version: 3.30.1
Gnome-contacts version: 3.30.1
Thunderbird version: 60.0 (64-bit)


Actual results:

I can't.

I've opened an issue at gnome folks site (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/folks/issues/100) asking for adding Thunderbird backend. And here is the answer:

"Contacts internally uses libfolks to manage contact backends, so I'm going to move this over there. If someone were to implement that (development is quite low), that would mean you could use your Thunderbird contacts in GNOME Contacts. If you want to be able to use contacts from GNOME Contacts, you'll have to ask the Thunderbird developers."

Have you looked at the Cardbook extension?

Yes, I use it for syncing my nextcloud contacts, but don't see no way for use it with Gnome Contacts.
