My email provider, Runbox, now supports forward secrecy in Imap connections. Does Thunderbird support this? I'm using it on my mac, version 24.4.0.

Thank you

PFS has got nothing to do with IMAP. It's primarily a SSL/TLS feature. So you'll have to access the server via SSL/TLS in the first place. If your email provider's server negotiates a cipher suite supporting PFS, then TB will most likely support it.
