This doesn't look like it affects all add-ons.  Maybe an old version of Gmail checker was compatible with thunderbird?  Regardless, kicking out of 5.3

This search (any Thunderbird extensions updated in last 6mos sorted by newest) produced 18 non-Thunderbird extensions in the first 100 results.  The search results produce a URL with /thunderbird/ but clicking on it forwards to the /firefox/ URL.  (Many of the extensions were last updated months ago, so it should not be an issue of cached old values in the search engine due to a recent change of the add-on.)

Same problem with Mobile search: same non-mobile add-ons show up, and again the mobile url forwards to the firefox url.
