How to sync Thunderbird address book and Google contacts

I use both Gmail and Thunderbird. I can see both in Thunderbird on my PC. I would like to sync my TB address book with Google contacts. I searched a good while on-line and find information about adding a CardDAV Address book. However the instructions mention steps that simply are not available on Thunderbird on my PC. I have the latest version of TB (140.7.1esr (64-bit)). The first step says to "open the Address book, select File>New> CardDAV address book". That is not a choice. Anything in Mozilla support is several years old.

So is this possible or not?
