A lot of people has a google account, and google contacts sotored. I installed add-on to sync thunderbird contacts with google contacts, but there are a lot of mistakes and errors.

I think that sync shouldn't be an add-on. It should be a thunderbird characteristic. And well developed. Also calendar, etc.

Contacts can be synced using the built-in CardDAV: in Address Book, File/New/CardDAV Address Book... enter the gmail address...contacts are autodetected...enter the account password in the OAuth window to allow access (cookies must be accepted in TB Preferences).

For calendars, File/New/Calendar...On the Network...enter the gmail address...calendars are autodetected...enter the account password in the OAuth window to allow access.

Try CardBook if you need to sync categories (groups).
