How To Know Which Address Book A Contact Is In

I have about 20 address books in Thunderbird because I find it easy to group contacts into an address book and then use the "Is In Address Book" option to apply to emails and move them to folders.

There was a change to address books in Thunderbird a year or so ago and now I can't see which address book a contact is in without browsing each one.

I can find the contact by looking at "All Address Books" but that doesn't show me which address book(s) it's in, which would be really handy.

Am I missing something or is there an option/extension that would display it?

Hope I explained this clearly.

In the Address Book tab, right next to the search box is a button which opens a drop-down menu. From the drop-down menu select Address Book. This adds a new column with the Address Book information. I do use the 'horizontal layout' for the Address Book.
