It's not just me!! Many many questions about installing additional (spelling) dictionaries have been posed by the "community". Installing additional (spelling) dictionaries used to be straightforward. Downloading dictionaries is still not a problem, but getting Thunderbird to take them into account is another story. Would it help if you indicated where they should be placed once they are downloaded?

In any event I eventually succeeded but I don't know why. Perhaps because I first downloaded the dictionaries to Firefox.

It's a pity that something that worked well is now a problem . . .

Using this as an example: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/german-dictionary

Clicking the 'Download' button will open a popup with installation instructions. Simply follow the instructions.

Not sure what your problem is. I don't think the way dictionaries are installed for Thunderbird has changed recently.
