When I click on a contact in Address Book and hit the delete button, the address doesn't delete. When I right click on the contact and hit delete, it also doesn't delete. These are contacts that came into my Address Book automatically from my Mac when I set up Thunderbird.

If you are using the MAC Contacts address book via Thunderbird, then I believe you cannot delete via Thunderbird, you need to do via the actual MAC address book. I think Thunderbird's access to the native OSX address book is read-only.
