Importing android vcf file fails in Thunderbird

I just exported all my android contacts and now I would like to import them in Thunderbird, but for some reason it doesn't work.

I suspect it has something to do with the contact images that are in the vcf file, because otherwise it looks good.

Here is a small snippet of the first 2 contacts in the vcf file, one with photo and one without.

Thunderbird uses V4 of vcard, The file is V2 and might be the issue. Does your phone offer CSV or LDIF for export?

Thank you for the clearing up the problem! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible to export in anything but this 2.1 format on my pixel 3a phone.
