<small>(Note: I'm not all sure, if this fits here, so if not, please excuse and correct me.)</small>
Right now, there is this template (for extensions): [https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/4025/#install-4025 <example>]
How to Install in Thunderbird:
  1. Right-Click the link above and choose "Save Link As..." to Download and save the file to your hard disk.
  2. In Mozilla Thunderbird, open the extension manager (Tools Menu/Extensions)
  3. Click the Install button, and locate/select the file you downloaded and click "OK"
This process can be shortened, as one can paste the Link URL in the file-selection-dialog (in Thunderbird extension manager). So temporarily saving it on hard disk by hand is superfluous overhead.
(Of course, even better would be auto-detecting Thunderbird extensions (or better: more generally ''add-ons'') and passing them on to the Thunderbird application for handling/installing there.)
