I've recently started playing with Linux Mint and Thunderbird, having come over from Windows 10....

I successfully linked my Yahoo! Contacts with Thunderbird, and set my "Yahoo! Contacts" address book as the "Default startup directory" in the Thunderbird Address Book area. But, when I'm reading an email message and click the sender's address -> "Add to Address Book", Thunderbird always adds the contact to the local "Personal Address Book", not to the "Yahoo! Contacts" book where I want it, (I don't use the local address book.), so I always have to move it, which is a hassle, and defeats the purpose of the convenient "Add to Address Book" popup menu item for me.

How can I tell Thunderbird to add new contacts to my "Yahoo! Contacts" book by default, not the "Personal Address Book"?

When you click the sender's address, by default it's added to Personal Address Book. Click it again and the target address book can be selected. I don't know of a way to make an arbitrary book the target with one click, but it's easy enough to make the second click.
