Export the hotmail contacts as a .csv file and save to your desktop.

If you wish you can open a .csv file using eg: Excel or OpenOffice calc You can edit the column heading to match those of Thunderbird. See info at link:

then Import the .csv file. In Address Book Tools > Import Select : Address Book and click on Next Select: Text file (LDIF, .tab. .csv, .txt) and click on Next you may have to map the column headings.
