Works for me in Firefox 2.0.0.7

The procedure is clearly described at the top of the page <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:3>. You should *not* press install, since that would install in Firefox (you're browsing that page in Firefox, not in Thunderbird !). You need to use save-link-as (with the context menu), so that you can later install it in Thunderbird.
