The image you posted offers the option to 'Save file' Select 'Save file' option and click on 'OK'

File 'printingtools_ng-2.0.0-tb.xpi' will get downloaded to your default location on computer. Mine gets downloaded to the 'Downloads' folder in my User Account.

Then in Thunderbird: Menu app icon > Select 'Addons' Click on gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file' locate and select the file you downloaded 'printingtools_ng-2.0.0-tb.xpi' click on 'Open' You may need to restart Thunderbird at the prompt.
