You have to *download* the file, the in Thunderbird, to to Add-ons > Install... and choose the file.

Yes, it's confusing, there are bugs open about improving it.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/dictionaries.html is only for old-style dictionaries which won't work in tb2. I'd recommend updating to thunderbird2 and downloading the dictionary from addons.mozilla.org
