How can I import a vcf file into Thunderbird Address book?
I have a couple hundred contacts on my iPhone and want to get them into Thunderbird as some emails are much faster using a PC as opposed to the iPhone. I can get the contacts from iCloud in one .vcf file but can't find a way to get them into Thunderbird. Thanks for any help you can give me.

The first thing to try is click the hamburger (3 bar) icon, Tools/Import...Address Books...vCard file, and select the .vcf file. Open Address Book and see if the new address book looks OK.

OF course, now that you tell me, I all of a sudden remembered. MAybe you can provide some additional help.
I'm trying to set up another email account in T-bird for my wife; it's a gmail account. When I enter her name, email address and password, T-bird tells me that the password is incorrect and it is not. Any ideas?
I didn't set up anything like a 2- step process. Am I missing something? I set up my own account without this headache; just wondering what I've missed.
Your above suggestion got me a little further. The Gmail account shows up in T-bird but when I click on it I'm asked for the password and I type in the correct one but still get the invalid password message. I've done this once before for my own address and don't remember having this problem. Would that double verification, or whatever it's called be sending a code to her iPhone/iPad that needs to be used instead of the regular password? I'm not asked for anything but "password", nothing indicates something other than the password is needed.
The export function from iCloud creates one single .vcf file with all the addresses in it. If you click on it on the desktop, it starts displaying each and every address as a separate vCard. However, "Tools/Import...Address Books...vCard file" doesn't do anything.
