Can't display Mac OS X Address Book on iMAC

Mac OS X Adress Book is fully populated but doesn't show on the Thunderbird Address Book. The "use Mac OS X Address Book" is checked. It works fine on my MBP but not my iMAC. Using El Capitan OS X 10.11.1 and storing/syncing addresses using iCloud account.

I've checked the settings on both MBP and iMAC. They are the same.

Please advise, Tom

I do not use a mac, but am aware there is a security setting on OSX that has to be set to allow the address book to be used.

Thanks Matt! That solved it!

Could you help my ignorance... where in OSX and what has to be changed.

It's in System Preferences - Security & Privacy - Privacy

You'll see a few Apps and System Functions where you can allow other apps to access them.
