You have to save the file (right click > save as) and then either drag it into
Thunderbird extensions manager, or use Tools > Extensions > Install to install
it. If you just click that link it will try to install the dictionary in
Firefox. Does this solve this for you?

Yes, it does, sorry for that. Ok, now we know there's workaround.

This is not really a work-around. It's how you have to install extensions in
Thunderbird. Resolving as WORKSFORME based on reporter's comments.
