Textmarker not downloading

I downloaded Textmarker using Firefox 96.0.1 (64 bit). I have
Thunderbird 91.5.0 (32 bit) and Windows 7. All I got was an enormous
strand of gibberish. Why can’t this succeed when other downloads do.
However, this is the first time I’ve tried to download a Thunderbird
add-on. Thank you

And continuing on …

Don’t download it. Install it in Thunderbird itself from the Tools, Addons part of the program.

Note there is a support email address on the addon page.

Dave – thanks so much for the instructions to install Textmarker from
Tools > Add-ons! Tom
