Firefox@Lemmy.ml: Is it possible to install Firefox addons in Thunderbird?

Thunderbird's addon store is very lacking to compare to Firefox. Are there even technical limitations to this if Thunderbird use Firefox / Gecko under the hood?

I'd definitely wanna block embedded trackers though

Thunderbird does that by default. As long as you don't enable downloading of external resources, trackers are blocked.

How does it work though, does it use tracker lists like uBlock origin does?

Trackers are basically embedded images in the email. If the image gets downloaded by your client, they can track if the email was opened. If you simply don't download images, there's no tracking.
