*Detailed* steps to reproduce aren't optional. For instance, your steps might include 

1. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:3
2. Click the "Install" link to the right of "Nederlands (nl-nl)"
3. Click the "Install now" button in the dialog that comes up

in which case, we could explain that you can't install dictionaries in Thunderbird by clicking the link in Firefox, that you have to follow the instructions at the top of the page to save the file and open it in Thunderbird instead.

So, steps to reproduce, please.

Yeah, the thunderbird installation mechanism is a bit tricky... see e.g. bug 295462 for an RFE to change that.

->INVALID, feel free to reopen if you really *downloaded* the xpi file, then went to Thunderbird > Tools > Add-ons > Install... and chose the xpi file, restarted and it still isn't working.
